Pradeep Sen Assistant Professor Advanced Graphics Lab Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering MSC01 1100 1 University of New Mexico Albuquerque, NM 87131 psen at ece unm edu

Welcome to my homepage. I am a new assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of New Mexico (UNM) with a joint appointment in Computer Science. I am one of the founders of the Advanced Graphics Lab (AGL) which is dedicated to research in computer graphics, visualization, imaging and computer vision. AGL is works alongside the ARTS Lab, an interdisciplinary center here at UNM which focuses on interdisciplinary research on digital media. I recently graduated with a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Graphics Lab at Stanford University.

News

I am looking for students who are interested in research in computer graphics, computer vision, and image processing to join our Advanced Graphics Lab. I currently have funding opportunities for several exciting projects. Please contact me if you are interested. Applications for our graduate program here at UNM can be found here.

Research interests

My research interests are in the area of real-time rendering and graphics hardware. In particular, I am interested in exploring global illumination algorithms on the GPU. I am also interested in using real-time technologies to aid in the visualization of medical data sets. Finally, some of my work also focuses on the acquisition and display of light fields, which relates to the emerging field of computational photography.
