At Stanford, I worked with Marc Levoy on the Digital Michelangelo project.

I received my PhD in  Computer Science & Engineering Department  at the University of Washington.

Before coming to UW I received M.Sc. and Lic. Tech. from the University of Oulu, Department of Electrical Engineering. I also have a B.Comp.Sci. from University of Minnesota.

Here are a few sets of slides, mostly with speaker notes. If you are interested in any of my papers, it is probably good idea to first go through the slides, and then read the paper if you think you want to learn more. In some instances there is some extra stuff in slides that's not in the papers.

• PhD defense
• Fast rendering of subdivision surfaces
• Effective removal of wavelets
• Robust meshes from multiple range maps
• View-based rendering
