Bio:

  • SIGGRAPH 1997

    Anselmo Lastra is a Research Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He serves as the software manager for the Pixel-Planes/PixelFlow research team. The research group is currently working on PixelFlow, a scalable graphics computer expected to perform more than an order of magnitude faster than their previous machine, Pixel-Planes 5. Dr. Lastra received Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science from Duke University and a B.S.E.E. from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Prior to coming to North Carolina, he was a project manager at Coulter Electronics, leading the development of medical instrumentation, and was a consultant at AT&T Bell Laboratories.
