Biography

I completed my Ph.D. in April 2011 in the Graphics Group at Lund University, Sweden, working with professor Tomas Akenine-Möller. I am currently working for Intel Corporation. My research interests include texture compression, stochastic rasterization and the real-time graphics pipeline.

2003-2005 I worked as a developer at Illuminate Labs (now part of Autodesk) on the commercial photo-realistic renderer Turtle™.

My Master Thesis is entitled Variational Shape Design and was part of an internship at Dassault System, Paris, 2002.
