Background
- Pursues visual computing for modeling and improving the complex urban ecosystem.
- Develops semi-automatic and automatic algorithms for controllable content creation and editing of large and complex geometric models for use in urban digital twins, simulation, visualization, entertainment, education, and cultural heritage.
- His methodologies generally convert incomplete and unstructured data into organized and easily editable procedural representations.
- His research group has innovated in generative modeling, urban AI, and optimization to infer procedural rules, parameters, graphs, layouts, 3D models, images, sketches, point clouds, roads, facades, buildings, cities, and vegetation.
- Has developed novel image processing, 3D reconstruction methods, 3D spatial augmented reality, camera calibration, and computational display solutions.
- Leads and participates in numerous computational urban projects in city gray and green planning, atmospheric/geological sciences, civil engineering, and architecture.
- Graduated from Colegio Santa Maria in Lima, Peru; first in his family to earn a PhD.
