Ed Quigley

Bio

I did my PhD in the Computer Graphics lab at Stanford University, where I was advised by Prof. Ron Fedkiw and was fortunate to be supported by an NDSEG fellowship. I'm interested in physically based simulation, computer vision, and machine learning for visual effects and real-time graphics applications. I did my undergrad at Grove City College, where I studied computer science and some literature.
