Ilya's Homepage Welcome |
I am Ilya Baran, my email is "ibaran AT mit DOT edu". I am a Ph.D. student in the MIT Graphics Group working with Jovan Popović on making 3D modeling and animation more accessible to non-professionals. I used to be in the algorithms group, working with Erik Demaine. I was also one of the people responsible for Cosmic Blobs, a really fun 3D modeling program for kids. One day, I might even graduate!
