Bio:
SIGGRAPH 1993
Paul Heckbert is an assistant professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. For his BS degree in Mathematics at MIT, he developed algorithms for color image quantization, and at the New York Institute of Technology and Pixar, he developed software for computer animation. Paul received Master’s and PhD degrees in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley in the topics of texture mapping and global illumination, respectively. His research interests are computer graphics and image processing.
