He returned to Stanford in 2015 as the Director of the Brown Institute for Media Innovation, after nearly a decade on the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley.[1] Life and workManeesh Agrawala attended the Science, Mathematics, and Computer Science Magnet Program at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, MD, where he was part of a team (including Howard Gobioff) that won a supercomputer in the 1988 SuperQuest competition.[2] He was a finalist in the 1990 Westinghouse Science Talent Search.[3] He received a B.S. in mathematics in 1994 and a Ph.D. in computer science in 2002, both from Stanford University. While attending Stanford, he worked as a software consultant at Vicinity Corporation and in the rendering software group at Pixar Animation Studios. He received a film credit for Pixar's A Bugs Life.[4] After graduating, Agrawala worked at Microsoft Research for three years, before joining the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley.[5] Agrawala's work focuses on the design of visual interfaces that help a user process digital information, often using cognitive design concepts. For instance, LineDrive, a program developed by Agrawala, creates route maps that resemble hand-drawn maps, adapting cognitive and map-making techniques to help a computer user process information on a route. This work was the focus of his 2002 Ph.D. dissertation, "Visualizing Route Maps". He has also adapted cognitive science into visual interfaces for complex 3D models. Agrawala has also developed a system that creates step-by-step assembly instructions for complex machines, using the idea of exploded views to help the user understand the spatial relationships between elements. His user-centric approach is viewed as having broad applicability in the fields of computer graphics and user interfaces.[6] Agrawala is the recipient of multiple awards, including an Okawa Foundation Research Grant in 2006, a Sloan Fellowship and NSF CAREER Award in 2007, a SIGGRAPH Significant New Researcher Award in 2008, and a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship in 2009.[7] References1. ^{{cite news|title=UC-Berkeley Professor Named Next Director of Brown Institute|url=http://engineering.stanford.edu/news/berkeley-professor-named-next-director-brown-institute|date=4 March 2015}} 2. ^{{cite web|last=Deng|first=Sophia|title=Blair alumnus named MacArthur Fellow|url=http://silverchips.mbhs.edu/story/9499|work=Silver Chips Online|date=1 October 2009|accessdate=18 October 2013}} 3. ^{{cite news |last1=Bates |first1=Steve |title=Science's Brightest Young Stars: Six Area Students Make Finals of Prestigious Contest |work=The Washington Post |date=January 26, 1990 |page=C1}} 4. ^{{Cite web |url= https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120623/fullcredits |title=A Bug's Life (1998) - Full cast and crew |work=imdb.com |accessdate=28 February 2010}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.macfound.org/site/c.lkLXJ8MQKrH/b.5458001/k.92B8/Maneesh_Agrawala.htm|title=Maneesh Agrawala|accessdate=2010-02-27|publisher=John D. and Catherine T.
