Bui Tuong Phong
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bui Tuong Phong (Vietnamese: Bùi Tường Phong, 1942–1975) was a Vietnamese-born computer graphics researcher and pioneer. His works are most often indexed under his family name, Bùi, which comes before his given name by Vietnamese name convention. But his inventions are remembered under his given name Phong, since it is conventional to address Vietnamese persons by their given name.
Dr. Phong was the inventor of the Phong reflection model and the Phong shading interpolation method, techniques widely used in computer graphics. Bui Tuong published the description of the algorithms in his 1973 PhD dissertation[1] and a 1975 paper[2]. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Utah in 1973.
