Steve joined Microsoft Research Asia in June 2000, and is
currently a member of the Internet Graphics group. His research interests
lie in the fields of computer vision and computer graphics. In computer vision,
his primary research areas are photometric analysis, low-level vision, and
color vision. His interests in computer graphics include reflectance modeling
and inverse rendering. He received a B.S.E. in electrical engineering from
Princeton University and a Ph.D. in computer science and engineering from
the University of Michigan.
