About Me

I'm a member of the Interactive Visual Media Group at Microsoft Research.  I've been at MSR since 1999 where I've worked on image-based modeling and rendering, omni-directional imaging, panoramic photography, video compression and GPU programming.  A video of me presenting some of the projects that I've worked on can be seen here (300Kb, 1Mb).  Before MSR I was in the Microsoft DirectX group, starting in 1996, where I worked on the Talisman project.

I earned my B.S. in Electric Power Engineering and M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.  From 1990 to 1991 I worked at Schweizer Radio DRS, Hotel Sapiniere and Thomson Multimedia R&D (Rennes, France).  I joined the staff of Bell Laboratories in 1991 and worked there until 1996.  While there I designed the AVP product line of signal processing chips for video and audio applications.

Recent Projects

  • The 360 video for MSNBC's Hurricane Katrina virtual tour of Waveland and Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.
  • Microsoft Research Group Shot.  Download it here.  There is a nice example result on dpreview.  Another nice review is here.
  • The stitching feature in Acrylic, reviews(1, 2).
  • The fully automatic panoramic stitching feature in Digital Image Suite 10 and Digital Image Suite 2006, reviews (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).  Check out some panoramas I've created with the software 1, 2, 3, 4.
  • I worked with Pt. Grey Research to develop the Ladybug omnidirectional camera.  See an article about it here.
  • The stairwell fly through sequence for the 2003 season premiere of CSI: Crime Scene Investigations.  Here are a couple initial takes (1, 2) that didn't make it on the show.  The footage was shot with a 360 camera, all the takes were done virtually in software.

Some other things ...

  • I enjoy ski touring in the Cascade Mountains.  Here are links to a few trips (1, 2, 3, 4).
