I am an Assistant Professor in Computer Graphics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University Prague. Prior to this appointment, I was a Marie Curie postdoctoral research fellow at Cornell University, working with prof. Kavita Bala. In my computer graphics research I focus on realistic, physically-based rendering, visual pereception, and appearance modeling.

Announcement

Diego Gutierrez and Wojciech Jarosz will be the guest editors for an IEEE CG&A Special issue on "Scattering: Acquisition, Modeling, and Rendering". Submission deadline is August 25th, 2012. For details see the call for papers.
