He was a research visitor at various universities such as MIT, Arizona State University, Calgary University, Purdue University, Brigham Young University, Seoul National University, City University of Hong Kong, University of Geneva, Cambridge University, and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. He is on the editorial board of the Visual Computer Journal, the International Journal of Shape Modeling, the International Journal on Software and Informatics, and The International Journal of CAD/CAM. He served on the PC of numerous international conferences in computer graphics and Geometric modeling, and acted as referees of most of the journals in the fields.

He published over 70 papers in prestigious journals and conference proceedings, which contributed solutions to various problems in the field including the co-foundation of T-spline.

With Malcolm Sabin he co-edited a special issue of the Journal of Visual Computer on Subdivision surfaces, 2002. Since 1982 he has been involved in promoting subdivision surfaces and its use in computer graphics, geometric modeling, animation, and digital arts. In addition to Subdivision Surfaces, his research interests include cultural heritage, Digital Arts, and the use of Computer Graphics in Education.
