SIGGRAPH 2008
Szymon Rusinkiewicz is an associate professor of Computer Science at Princeton University. His work focuses on acquisition and analysis of the 3D shape and appearance of real-world objects, including the design of capture devices and data structures for efficient representation. He also investigates algorithms for processing complex datasets of shape and reflectance, including registration, matching, completion, symmetry analysis, and sampling. In addition to data acquisition, his research interests include real-time rendering and perceptually-guided depiction. He obtained his Ph. D. from Stanford University in 2001.
