Biography

Tovi Grossman is a User Interface Researcher at Autodesk Research in Toronto, Canada. He was also an undergraduate intern at Autodesk Research (then Alias|Wavefront) in the summers of 2000 and 2001. In 2008 he received a Ph.D. in computer science, in the Dynamic Graphics Project (DGP) laboratory of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. In his dissertation he investigated human factors associated with 3D Volumetric Displays and implemented and evaluated new techniques for interacting with such displays. His research lies in the general area of Human-Computer Interaction, focused on understanding the human factors associated with both existing and emerging technologies, and based on this understanding, designing, implementing, and evaluating new interactive systems. Tovi has been awarded best paper awards at the ACM UIST 2004 and ACM CHI 2005 conferences, and was awarded a Microsoft Research Fellowship in 2007.
