I've been involved in computer graphics since 1967 and have devoted most of my career to using computer graphics in various educational projects. In 1995 I moved to the Computer Graphics Research group at Microsoft as their second Graphics Fellow (after Alvy Ray Smith). I am currently the manager of the Computer Graphics Research Group at Microsoft.
