Dan Goldman
Computer Graphics Research Scientist

I am a computer graphics research scientist, currently working in the area of visualization and interaction techniques for digital video. I have also published work in computational photography, rendering algorithms, and methods for geometry capture and synthesis.

After receiving my Bachelors and Masters degrees in Computer Science from Stanford University, I worked for a decade in numerous production and R&D roles at Industrial Light and Magic, the visual effects studio division of Lucasfilm. I completed my PhD at the University of Washington and joined Adobe in 2007.
