Tom Duff has degrees from the universities of Waterloo and Toronto and has worked at the NYIT Computer Graphics Lab, the Lucasfilm computer division, Bell Labs, and Pixar. His main research interest is in computer graphics and animation, but he has published broadly. (Other topics include operating systems, polymer physics, wireless networking, mathematics, and computer security.) He is working on the Computational Cinematography project, building computational movie cameras intended to capture enough information about live-action scenes to apply all of the image generation and manipulation techniques that we routinely use on synthetic scenes. He has half a dozen patents and two Academy Awards® for contributions to motion picture science and technology. When not at work, he is an opera singer, musical tinkerer, and grandparent.
