Bio
I currently work at Adobe. In the Fall I will be an assistant professor at
the University of Virginia.
My research interests are in computer graphics. My research focuses on creation and manipulation of image and video. 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 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, PC Magazine, and 4 million web sites. 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.
