About

I received a PhD from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) and the University of Limoges in 2007. My thesis focused on the realistic synthesis of surface details in the field of Computer Graphics, and was supervised by Xavier Pueyo and Djamchid Ghazanfarpour. Between 2007 and 2009, I have been a visiting professor and a part-time lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at the University of Girona. Since October 2009, I'm doing a postdoctoral stay at the Computer Graphics Group in Yale University, under the supervision of Julie Dorsey and Holly Rushmeier, and with the collaboration of George Drettakis from REVES/INRIA Sophia-Antipolis. My research focus on the simulation of weathering effects on urban environments.

Research Interests

My main interests are photorealistic image synthesis and real-time rendering, with a particular focus on appearance modeling, natural phenomena and weathering and aging processes.
