Background
I joined Nokia Research Center in 1998 to work on three-dimensional audiovisual speech and 3D capture from stereoscopic images. Since then, much of my work has been on mobile 3D graphics in the Gramophone project, where we have focused on making M3G the graphics API for mobile games.
I have an M.Sc. in Computer Science from Tampere University of Technology, 2001.
