Wojciech Matusik

Wojciech Matusik is the Cadence Design Systems Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, holds a joint appointment in Mechanical Engineering, and leads the Computational Design and Fabrication Group (CDFG) at MIT CSAIL. He is also a member of the Computer Graphics Group. (MIT CSAIL personal page, MIT EECS directory) His research asks how artificial intelligence can design real-world materials, devices, and robots, spanning computational design and fabrication, physics simulation, materials and molecular discovery, and the hardware that makes results physical. Its foundations include computer graphics, computer vision, and robotics. (Personal page, CDFG) Before returning to MIT, he worked at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Adobe Systems, and Disney Research Zurich. (Short biography)
