    Wan-Chun Alex Ma is a Computer Graphics Researcher at Weta Digital. He was a postdoctoral research associate at USC Institute for Creative Technologies from 2009 to 2011. His Ph.D. work on using polarized spherical gradient illumination is one of the state-of-the-art systems for capturing highly-detailed facial geometry and texture. It has been used in many feature films since then, including James Cameron’s Avatar. The technology was also transferred to Lightstage LLC, which provides professional facial scanning service. His research interests include performance capture, facial animation, image-based modeling, machine learning, and geometry processing.
