Assistant Professor, School of Computing
Ph.D., Princeton University, 2002
Professor Praun joined the faculty in 2002. His main
interests are in computer graphics. In particular, he has been working on
applications of local parameterizations of triangle meshes: dividing
3D-embedded surfaces into collections of patches and ?unfolding? each of
the patches into the plane. He is also interested in combining direct
acquisition of 3D surfaces with procedural detail generation methods. He is
a recipient of the John E. and Marva M. Warnock Presidential Endowed Chair
for Faculty Innovation in Computer Science.
