Henrik Wann Jensen is an associate professor at the University of California, San Diego. His contributions to computer graphics include the photon-mapping algorithm for global illumination and the first technique for efficiently simulating subsurface scattering in translucent materials. In 2004, he received an Academy Award (Technical Achievement Award) from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for pioneering research in rendering translucent materials. He also became a Sloan Fellow and was selected as one of the top 10 scientists in 2004 by Popular Science magazine.
