Biography
Neil McKay received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from
the the University of
Rochester in 1980, an M.S. in Electrical and Computer
Engineering from Rensselear
Polytechnic Institute in 1982, and a Ph.D. in Electrical
Engineering from the University
of Michigan in 1985. He has worked at GM R&D from
1985 to the present and has taught computer graphics at the
University of Michigan.
