Ken Museth is currently on a leave of absence from Linköping University and instead having a blast at
Digital Domain!
Ken Museth is full Professor of Computer Graphics at Linköping University where he heads the Graphics Group . Museth is also an Adjunct Professor at Aarhus University where several of the Graphics Groups PhD students are located. He used to be a senior research scientist in Computer Graphics at the California
Institute of Technology (Caltech), but also
consulted as a scientist for the visual effects movie houses
Digital Domain and Rhythm and Hues as well as
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
His main research
interests are in the areas of modeling and animation as well as
scientific visualization. This include topics such as geometric
modeling, real-time rendering, volume graphics, medical segmentation,
point-based rendering, computational fluid dynamics, level set methods,
and general 3D graphics by means of solving partial differential
equations. These research activities are currently funded by the
Swedish Research Council, Linköping University, Aarhus University, the
Wallenberg foundation and Alias Wavefront. Among his past
contributions to computer graphics are a novel surface editing system
( )
which allows users to easily repair and modify existing geometric models
using very intuitive editing operations implemented in a level set framework.
Ken Museth came to Caltech in
1998 as a visiting faculty member in computational quantum dynamics, but quickly
shifted field to computer science and joined the Computer Graphics Laboratory
as a research scientist in 2000. He received his Ph.D. from the University
of Copenhagen in 1997. See his resume or publication list for more details. He is currently on the papers committee of IEEE Visualization '07, ACM SCA '07, GRAPP '07 and the co-chair of EuroVis '07 hosted at our department.
