The projects listed below summarize past research efforts in our lab. Many of the results of these projects form the basis of our ongoing research activities.
Computational Caustics
Shape optimization of freeform lenses and reflectors allows painting with light.
Complex Assemblies
Geometric reasoning and combinatorial optimization facilitate the design of complex assemblies.
Human Modeling
Performance capture is about bringing digital characters to life by capturing the geometry and motion of real human performances.
Physics-Based Animation
We develop efficient data structures and algorithms for the simulation of complex physical phenomena.
