He was a Graphics Engineer in the Visualization and Computer Vision Lab at GE Research in Niskayuna, NY. He has 40 years of experience in computer graphics and software engineering. Bill recently worked on algorithms for medical image analysis and scientific visualization. He is a co-developer of the marching cubes and dividing cubes surface extraction algorithms, two popular isosurface extraction algorithms. His other interests include computer animation, color graphics systems for data presentation, and object-oriented software tools. Bill is the author or co-author of over [[Lorensen_Publications| 80 technical articles]] on topics ranging from finite element pre/postprocessing, 3D medical imaging, computer animation and object-oriented design. He is a co-author of "Object-Oriented Modeling and Design" published by Prentice Hall, 1991. He is also co-author with Will Schroeder and Ken Martin of the book "The Visualization Toolkit: An Object-Oriented Approach to 3D Graphics" published by [http://www.kitware.com Kitware] in 2004. |
