I'm an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, working on computer graphics and interactive techniques. I direct the
Virtual Worlds Group
in the
Computer Graphics Lab.
I'm generally interested in techniques that e
nrich communication and enhance creativity. My group
conducts research in animation, modeling, and graphics systems.
In the past my work focused on geometric computing and the mathematical theory of computer science. I came to Stanford after doctoral studies at Tel Aviv University and a three-year postdoctoral appointment at UC Berkeley. I grew up in Ukraine and life saw to it that I cannot speak a single language without an accent.
