Ruggero Pintus studied Electronic Engineering at the University of Cagliari in Italy,where
he received his master’s degree in April 2003. In 2004, he started
working as a researcher at the Department of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (DIEE). He received the Ph.D. degree in Electronic and
Computer Engineering in 2007, working on Computer Vision algorithms and
software applied to Scanning Electron Microscope. He also supported
didactic activities. In the same year, he was awarded with an Italian
Government Grant, and he worked as a visiting researcher in the
Multimedia Communications and Networking Lab at the Hewlett-Packard
Laboratories, California, US. His research focused on photometric stereo
techniques applied to conventional flatbed scanners. Since November
2007 he has been part of the Visual Computing group of CRS4 (Center for
Advanced Studies, Research and Development in Sardinia). His research
interests have shifted towards Computer Graphics topics. In particular,
the primary focus is the development of algorithms for acquisition,
out-of-core processing, time-critical rendering and 3D printing of
massive models, mostly applied to large scale color and geometry
Cultural Heritage datasets. In 2013 he worked as a Postdoctoral
Associate Research Scientist in the Computer Graphics Group at the Yale
University. His research focused on 3D model scanning and processing,
and on multispectral imaging acquisition and document layout analysis
techniques applied to historical, handwritten medieval manuscripts.
