Past Research

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.

Shape optimization of freeform lenses and reflectors allows painting with light.

Geometric reasoning and combinatorial optimization facilitate the design of complex assemblies.

Performance capture is about bringing digital characters to life by capturing the geometry and motion of real human performances.

We develop efficient data structures and algorithms for the simulation of complex physical phenomena.
