Kurt's Graduation

Woohoo!
In June 1995, I completed the Ph.D. in Computation and Neural Systems Program at Caltech in Pasadena, California. While at Caltech, I was a member of the Computer Graphics Group.

Update

Since graduating, I've been working at Pixar in Emeryville, California, making computer animation systems run faster, jump higher and play harder. Many thanks to Professor Al Barr for enabling me to keep this site open for distributing information about the research I did while at Caltech.

Hobbies

Single Image Stereograms

Single Image Stereograms are another hobby of mine, and our group experimented with a variety of techniques for generating them. We made a movie, too.
