As of 2016, still working at Goog. Our team generates 3D data you can see here (this is where we happen to sit at the moment; hint: ctrl-drag to rotate).

As of September 2009, I have been working at Google, on Google Earth. As of June 2010, I will have graduated from Princeton.

I was a graduate student at Princeton, in the Computer Science department, and in the graphics group from September 2004 until September 2009. My advisor was Thomas Funkhouser. I have worked on analysis of 3D shapes, namely object recognition, segmentation, symmetry detection/visualization, face modeling, finding binding sites in proteins, and using symmetry for geometry processing applications.


My CV can be found here.

Class Projects

Coming soon-ish

Update [2016]: I must face the reality that my class projects will not arrive here:)

(For ease of searching, I have been known at various times as Alex Golovinsky, Alex Golovinskiy, Aleksey Golovinsky, etc)
