Frédo Durand is an associate professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science at the MIT. He received his PhD from Grenoble University, France, in
1999.
He works both on synthetic image generation and computational photography,
where new algorithms afford powerful image enhancement and the design of
imaging system that can record richer information about a scene. His research
interests span most aspects of picture generation and creation, with emphasis
on mathematical analysis, signal processing, and inspiration from perceptual
sciences.
