Doug L. James is a Full Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University since 2015, following roles as Associate Professor at Cornell University (2006-2015) and Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University (2002-2006). He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of British Columbia (2001), alongside earlier degrees from the same institution and the University of Western Ontario. His research focuses on computer graphics, sound synthesis, and physically-based modeling, with notable contributions to fluid simulation, cloth animation, and medical modeling.
Key achievements include the 2012 Technical Achievement Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for 'Wavelet Turbulence,' and the 2013 Katayanagi Prize. He serves as a consulting Senior Research Scientist at Pixar Animation Studios and has led roles like Technical Papers Chair at SIGGRAPH 2015. His work integrates physics-based principles with interactive systems, emphasizing real-time applications and data-driven methods.
Research interests span sound synthesis for animations (e.g., cloth, water, impact sounds), deformable models for medical simulation, and tools like 'svMorph' for virtual surgery planning. His publications reflect a blend of algorithmic innovation and practical applications in film, gaming, and healthcare.
