Bio:
SIGGRAPH 1999
David Baraff joined Pixar Animation Studios in 1998 as a Senior Animation Scientist. Prior to his arrival at Pixar, he was an Associate Professor of Robotics, and Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. David Baraff received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1992, where he was a graduate student in Cornell’s Department of Computer Science, and Program of Computer Graphics. Before and during his graduate studies, he also worked at Bell Laboratories’. Computer Technology Research Laboratory doing computer graphics research, including real-time 3D interactive iuμmation and. games. After receiving his Ph.D., he joined the faculty of Carnegie Mellon University. In 1995, he was named an ONR Young Investigator. His research interests include physical simulation and modeling for computer graphics, robotics, and animation.
SIGGRAPH 1993
David Baraff is an Assistant Professor in Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute, and School of Computer Science. He received his PhD from Cornell University in 1992, where he was a graduate student in Cornell’s Program of Computer Graphics and Department of Computer Science. He received his BsE from the University of Pennsylvania in 1987. At Cornell, he was named an AT&T Bell Laboratories PhD Fellow. His research work focuses on physical Simulations with constraints.
