Bennett Wilburn is a Researcher in the Visual Computing group at Microsoft Research Asia. He started his career as a VLSI circuit designer working on microprocessors. While studying for his Ph.D. in electrical engineering at Stanford University, he decided to switch gears and learn about graphics. For his dissertation work, he designed the Stanford Multiple Camera Array, a 100-video camera system used for high-performance video imaging, computational photography, and space-time video view interpolation. For more details, please see his Stanford web page. Between graduation and his start at Microsoft, he taught a Digital Design course at Stanford and spent six months architecting a camera array design for a commercial, DARPA-funded gigapixel video camera project. Bennett's current work focuses on capturing, modeling and rendering the real world.
