Alberto Jaspe-Villanueva
Research Scientist in Visual Computing
Hola! I'm a computer science researcher and engineer, specialized in computer graphics, scientific visualization, and other ways of lighting up pixels so that 3D digital worlds run fast and make sense.
Currently I work at the High-Performance Visualization Group of the CEMSE Division at KAUST (Saudi Arabia). Before that I was a scientist at CRS4 (Italy) and at the University of A Coruña (Spain).
Welcome to my website! Feel free to contact me if anything here interests you :)
