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 the Humboldt Foundation Forschungspreis.

Liliya Kharevych is a graduate student in Computer Science at Caltech. She recieved her BS in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park in 2002. She is interested in discrete geometry and especially its applications to physically based modeling and parameterization.

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.
