Peter Schröeder

Field: Computer Science
Packard Fellowship award year: 1998

Research Interests

Peter Schröder's research is focused on the construction of scalable algorithms for problems in computer graphics. Many applications in this domain are in essence numerical algorithms which seek to model and simulate real world phenomena. As such they tend to be very computation intensive while at the same time requiring (ideally) interactive update rates. A very powerful set of tools satisfying these requirements are based on multi-resolution. The basic ideas are grounded in traditional wavelet and approximation theory which has to be radically generalized to be applicable to real world settings.
