Caltech Multi-Res Modeling Group

Peter Schröder is a professor of computer science at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena. He received a Master's degree from the MIT Media Lab and a PhD from Princeton University. His research contributions range from massively parallel visualization to physically based modeling, global illumination, wavelets, multiresolution geometry, digital geometry processing, and, most recently discrete differential geometry. The results of his work have been published in venues ranging from Siggraph to special journal issues on wavelets and WIRED magazine. He has lectured on his work widely in North America, Asia, and Europe. His contributions were most recently honored when he received a Humboldt Professorship (CV).

Keenan Crane is a graduate student in computer science at Caltech. He received his bachelor's degree in computer science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2007. He is interested in developing new tools for geometric modeling and physical simulation. His past research includes real time simulation of fluids, motion capture for deforming surfaces (such as cloth), surface parameterization aimed at signal processing, and hardware-accelerated ray tracing.

Patrick Sanan is a graduate student in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Caltech. He received a BS in Aerospace Engineering and a BA in Mathematics-Applied Science at the University of California, San Diego and a Master's in Electroacoustic Music Composition at the University of Manchester. He is interested in physical modeling and sound sythesis.

Jinghao Huang is a graduate student in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Caltech. He recieved his BS in Mathematics and Physics at Tsinghua Univeristy, Beijing, China in 2007. He is interested in geometric modeling and subdivision.
