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 enrich 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.
