Biography |
Marco Tarini joined the
University of Insubria in 2003. He received a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Pisa, Italy, in 2002 with a dissertation titled “Improving technology for the acquisition and interactive rendering of real world objects”. In 1998, he received a Laurea Degree (5 year long course, with Laude) from the same university. During his doctorate studies he joined various research groups and projects, including the Visual Computing Group (part of the I.S.T.I. institute, at the Italian National Research Council), the Computer Graphics AG4 group at the Max Plank Institute fuer Informatik in Saarbrueken, Germany, theDigital Michelangelo Project by the Stanford Computer Graphic Team. As a Ph.D. he continued working with the Visual Computing Group as a research assistant. Prior to getting his PhD, he briefly worked as a game developer with Voxar Ltd, in Edinburgh, in 1997, and as a research assistant at the CNUCE institute, part of the CNR, in 1998. |
