My research explores the acquisition, processing, and analysis of 3D and 2D data to improve their usability, interpretation, and communication. I focus on 3D scanning and modeling the surface appearance of real-world objects, temporal 3D data analysis and visualization for automatic change detection, non-rigid registration of raw 3D data, real-time rendering through global illumination approximation, web-based visualization of 3D/2D content, interactive interfaces for 3D-printed objects. My work aims to bridge technology and understanding, developing tools and methods that make complex data more accessible and meaningful.
