I'm an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, working in computer graphics and interactive techniques. I direct the Virtual Worlds Group in the Computer Graphics Lab.

I'm interested in using computer graphics to support human creativity and enrich computer-mediated communication. My group develops new ways to create three-dimensional objects and environments, and to animate characters in virtual worlds.

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.
