Update 2026 · NJIT × WUT Partnership
NJIT and Warsaw University of Technology have signed a university-wide Memorandum of Understanding. I initiated this partnership during my research stay in Warsaw (2023–2025) as a Group Leader at IDEAS NCBR and a Visiting Professor at WUT, and have carried it since returning to NJIT. Our joint work in computer graphics and geometry processing now has an institutional foundation, with visiting scholars from WUT joining NJIT later this year. I write this from Warsaw, where I am spending the summer as a visiting researcher at WUT.
Memorandum of Understanding between New Jersey Institute of Technology and Warsaw University of Technology
Update 2025 – 2026
I am serving as Chair of the EUROGRAPHICS 2026 Conference Short Papers Program (together with Isaak Lim). EUROGRAPHICS is the leading computer graphics conference in Europe.

About

01

I am an Associate Professor of Computer Science at New Jersey Institute of Technology, NJ, USA. My research in computer graphics focuses on geometric modeling, geometry processing, and digital fabrication combined with modern machine learning to create algorithmic solutions for digital content generation.

Before joining NJIT, I was an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Discrete Mathematics and Geometry at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), where I also led the Computational Fabrication group at the Center for Geometry and Computational Design (GCD).

From 2023 to 2025, I was a Visiting Professor at the Warsaw University of Technology and a Group Leader at IDEAS in Warsaw, Poland.

Earlier in my career, I worked as a researcher at the VRVis Research Center for Virtual Reality and Visualization (VRVis) in Vienna, as a postdoctoral scholar at Arizona State University (ASU), as a postdoctoral associate in the Computer Graphics Group at TU Wien, and as a visiting research scientist at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).

I received my MSc in Media Systems Science in 2007 from Bauhaus University Weimar in Germany and my PhD in Computer Science in 2010 from Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) in Austria.

Topics

My group works at the intersection of geometry, computer graphics, and machine learning. We investigate problems in

geometry processing · shape optimization · digital fabrication · generative AI

Our research combines geometry, computer graphics, and machine learning to generate digital 3D content — shapes, buildings, and fabricable designs — that is not only realistic but usable. Many generative models produce results that merely look plausible; our work instead builds the underlying geometric structure into the model itself: the grammar of a façade, the mathematics of a surface that can be manufactured, the physical constraints a real object must satisfy. This makes generation both controllable and dependable — models a designer can edit and steer, and that hold up in the real world. Increasingly, the same principles extend our work beyond computer graphics into computer vision and the life sciences.

Interested in joining?

I look at multiple criteria, mainly mathematics skills and/or programming skills. A nice bonus is the knowledge of graphics or geometry. Also, natural curiosity and the drive to research are a strong plus. If you are interested, contact me by email!
