Research
I am a professor in the Computer Science Department and a member of the Graphics Group and Princeton ImageX Labs (PIXL). I am also a core faculty member in the interdepartmental Princeton Robotics Initiative and am associated faculty in the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My work focuses on the interface between computers and the visual and tangible world: acquisition, representation, analysis, and fabrication of 3D shape, motion, surface appearance, and scattering. I am interested in topics including computational fabrication; 3D scan acquisition, registration, and reconstruction; learning for low-level image and shape analysis; robotic localization and planning; and BRDF capture and representation. Applications of this work include documentation of cultural heritage artifacts and sites, appearance and performance capture for digital humans, and illustrative depiction through line drawings and non-photorealistic shading models.

If you are interested in joining the PhD program at Princeton: Please be aware that application to the program is evaluated at the department level, once a year (with an application deadline in December for matriculation the following fall). Unfortunately, I can neither make any promises about the outcome nor evaluate your qualifications outside of that process. Please look here for more information, and apply to Princeton if you are interested. I appreciate that you may have been told that it's a good idea to contact potential advisors ahead of time, but unfortunately I am not able to respond to such emails.

I also regret that if you are not a current Princeton student, I am unable to host you for, or advise you on, a research project—whether in-person or virtual.
