My research interests span several areas of computer graphics including realistic, high-performance rendering, computer animation, fluid simulation, and geometry processing. Apart from devising new mathematical models of appearance, lighting and animation, I also apply techniques from machine learning in order to more faithfully reproduce real-world imagery. My research always considers the intersection of accuracy and performance, leveraging the latest graphics processors, multi-core architectures and cloud computing in order to accelerate and parallelize the execution of the computer graphics algorithms we design.

I am primarily interested in the design of robust algorithms, in the context of subdivision surfaces in solid modelling. Such surfaces are used in Computer Graphics and Computer Vision, in particular for the geometrical models used in computer games and film animation.
