	Michael Gleicher Professor Overview: Mike came to Madison in 1998 to found a new group in graphics at University of Wisconsin, Madison. His research is in computer animation (motion editing and motion capture), computer graphics (non-photorealistic rendering, 3D input, ...), and computer vision (human motion reconstruction). web: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~gleicher/ e-mail: gleicher@cs.wisc.edu
	Li Zhang Assistant Professor Overview: Li joined the UW-Madison in 2007. His research interests include computer vision and imaging and their applications in graphics and animation. web: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~lizhang/ e-mail: lizhang@cs.wisc.edu

Friends

Charles Dyer Overview: Chuck has been on the faculty here since 1982. His research is primarily in computer vision, though recently issues at the interface of computer vision and computer graphics have been studied. His research has focused mainly on shape and image representations for computer vision, with prominent contributions on topics such as quadtrees, aspect graphs, pyramid algorithms, image-based rendering, object recognition, and visual exploration. web: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~dyer/ e-mail: dyer@cs.wisc.edu

Kurt Squire Overview: Kurt Squire is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the Educational Communications and Technology division of Curriculum and Instruction. He is a former Montessori and primary school teacher and, before coming to Wisconsin, was Research Manager of the Games-to-Teach Project at MIT and Co-Director of Education Arcade. Squire earned his doctorate in Instructional Systems Technologyfrom Indiana University; his dissertation research examined students' learning through a game-based learning program he designed around *Civilization III*. Squire co-founded Joystick101.org with Jon Goodwin and currently writes a monthly column with Henry Jenkins for Computer Games magazine. In addition to writing over 30 scholarly articles and book chapters, and he has given dozens of talks and invited addresses in North America, Europe, and Asia. Squire's current research interests center on the impact of contemporary gaming practices on learning, schooling and society. Along with several other University Wisconsin-Madison faculty, he runs the Games and Professional Practice(GAPPS) initiative located at the Academic Advanced Distributed Learning Co-Lab. web: http://website.education.wisc.edu/kdsquire/ e-mail: kdsquire@education.wisc.edu
