Research:

My main topic of research is Computer Graphics that includes: visibility, shadow generation and global illumination methods. Below is the list of my current and past research subjects.

Spatio-temporal coherence in global illumination; tracing photons; density estimation and photon maps.
Ray Tracing Offsets of Rational Bezier Patches (small movies: Rational Hill 1[605kB] and Rational Hill 2[303kB])).
Offsets and Minkowski Operators in Soft Shadow Generation.
Applications of Computational Geometry (modelling tungsten needles)
Laser photocoagulation simulator.
Heuristic Methods in Optimization: genetic programming, simulated anealing, ...

I am using Linux Operating System since the year 1993. The first Linux distribution which I used was on 30 5inch floppies and as far as I remember it was called SLS. Later I used in: Slackware, Redhat, Debian, Mandrake, Ubuntu (in chronological order).
