Bio:
SIGGRAPH 2008
Steve Marschner is Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Cornell University, where he is conducting research into how optics and mechanics determine the appearance of materials. He obtained his Sc.B. from Brown University in 1993 and his Ph.D. from Cornell in 1998. He held research positions at Hewlett- Packard Labs, Microsoft Research, and Stanford University before joining Cornell in 2002. He has delivered numerous presentations, including papers at IEEE Visualization, the Eurographics Rendering Workshop, and SIGGRAPH, and SIGGRAPH courses every year from 2000 to 2005. For contributions in rendering translucent materials, he is co-recipient with Henrik Wann Jensen and Pat Hanrahan of a 2003 Academy Award for technical achievement.
