Mike Roberts Research Fellow Graphics, Vision, and Interaction Group Harvard University mroberts@seas.harvard.edu LinkedIn Curriculum Vitae

I am a research fellow in the Graphics, Vision, and Interaction Group at Harvard University. My advisor is Hanspeter Pfister. I am collaborating with Jeff Lichtman in the Center for Brain Science at Harvard to develop new interactive image segmentation methods for nanometer-scale Connectome images.

I am also a teaching fellow for the Visualization course at Harvard (instructed by Hanspeter Pfister). In previous semesters, I was a teaching fellow for Computing Foundations for Computational Science (instructed by Hanspeter Pfister and Chris Cecka), and Massively Parallel Computing (instructed by Hanspeter Pfister and Nicolas Pinto).

I completed my BSc (Hons) Computer Science and MSc Computer Science degrees at the University of Calgary. My MSc advisors were Mario Costa Sousa and Joseph Ross Mitchell. My MSc research focused on interactive level set image segmentation and illustrative visualization. I sold the intellectual property underlying my MSc thesis to Calgary Scientific and I helped them to integrate it into their commercial software portfolio.

I did an internship at NVIDIA during the summer of 2009 and helped to develop Parallel Nsight. I also did a year-long internship at Radical Entertainment as a graphics programmer on Prototype and a user-interface programmer on Scarface: The World is Yours.
