Neil Anthony Dodgson is Professor of Computer Graphics at the Victoria University of Wellington. He was previously (until 2016) Professor of Graphics and Imaging in the Computer Laboratory at the University of Cambridge in England, where he worked in the Rainbow Group on computer graphics and interaction.{{Scopus|id=6603866623}}{{GoogleScholar|id=kfYJVXEAAAAJ}}
Education
Dodgson graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Physics from Massey University in 1988 and subsequently worked there as a Junior Lecturer in Computer Science for one year.Massey University Calendar, 1988(?1989) He was awarded a Cambridge Commonwealth Trust Prince of Wales Scholarship to study at the University of Cambridge, where he worked on image resampling supervised by Neil Wiseman and graduating with a PhD in 1992.{{cite thesis |degree=PhD |first=Neil |last=Dodgson |title=Image Resampling |publisher=University of Cambridge |date=1992|url=http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.240148|oclc=27159480 }}
Research
Dodgson worked for many years on stereoscopic 3D displays, conducting research principally into autostereoscopic methods. He has contributed to several surveys of the field{{cite journal|last=Dodgson|first=N.A.|title=Autostereoscopic 3D displays|journal=Computer|date=1 August 2005|volume=38|issue=8|pages=31–36|doi=10.1109/MC.2005.252|s2cid=34507707}}{{cite journal|last=Holliman|first=Nicolas S.|author2=Dodgson, Neil A. |author3=Favalora, Gregg E. |author4= Pockett, Lachlan |title=Three-Dimensional Displays: A Review and Applications Analysis|journal=IEEE Transactions on Broadcasting|date=1 June 2011|volume=57|issue=2|pages=362Ð371|doi=10.1109/TBC.2011.2130930|citeseerx=10.1.1.352.7981|s2cid=9876135}}{{cite journal|last=Dodgson|first=Neil A.|title=Optical devices: 3D without the glasses|journal=Nature|date=20 March 2013|volume=495|issue=7441|pages=316–317|doi=10.1038/495316a|pmid=23518557|bibcode=2013Natur.495..316D|s2cid=26322530|doi-access=free}} and has been on the committee of the annual Stereoscopic Displays and Applications conference since 2000, co-chairing the conference four times.{{cite web|title=Stereoscopic Displays & Applications|url=http://www.stereoscopic.org|access-date=5 August 2013}}
With Malcolm Sabin, Dodgson has worked on subdivision surfaces since 2000. Dodgson's team produced the NURBS-compatible subdivision method in 2009.{{cite journal|last=Cashman|first=Thomas J. |author2=Augsdörfer, Ursula H. |author3=Dodgson, Neil A. |author4=Sabin, Malcolm A. |title=NURBS with extraordinary points|journal=ACM Transactions on Graphics|date=27 July 2009|volume=28|issue=3|pages=1–9|doi=10.1145/1531326.1531352}}
Dodgson has supervised almost twenty research students for PhDs.{{cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150426121432/http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~nad10/phdstudents.html|archive-date=2015-04-26|url=http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~nad10/phdstudents.html |title=Neil Dodgson's PhD students |access-date=2013-08-03|publisher=University of Cambridge }}
