Research Interests

I am interested in interactive computer graphics and intuitive user interfaces in general including (but not limited to) :

volumetric modeling
texture synthesis/mapping
sketch-based interfaces
2D/3D geometric modeling/editing
image editing

I am also interested in helping people dealing with practical problems in specific fields (e.g., medicine/education/production) by exploiting recent graphics techniques.
