Research

Until January, 2007, I was heading the ARTIS research group in Grenoble. My research concerns computer graphics and image creation techniques, and I am particularly interested in the following questions:

• Simplification and detail addition to 3d models,
• Visualization of very large data,
• Tool development for expressive rendering,
• Lighting simulation for image synthesis,
• Data acquisition from real images.

A more detailed description of my research is available here.
