Bio
My research interests are in computer graphics. My research focuses on creation and manipulation of image and video, and I am now also interested in 3D printing. I am particularly interested in algorithms that take advantage of repetitions in the natural world, non-parametric and randomized algorithms, and making new creative tools that are inspired by the ways artists work.
I am currently recruiting graduate students so let me know if you are interested in changing the world with new graphics technologies (see admissions). Charlottesville has great hiking, live music, is two hours from D.C., and has been rated a top place to live. The University of Virginia is ranked as #28 in Computer Science and #2 in public Universities.
I received my Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2011. See my C.V. for more information.

Research Impact
The PatchMatch technology that I researched for my Ph.D. was incorporated into Adobe Photoshop CS5 as content-aware fill. This received 8 million views on YouTube, including 3 million views for our SIGGRAPH paper video [1] [2]. This was featured in press such as Popular Science and PC Magazine. The feature received an award from PC Magazine for Technical Excellence alongside new products such as the iPad. In Photoshop CS6, Content-aware Move and Patch Tool were built on top of this technology.
