I just completed my first year at MIT where I am studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. During Summer 2007, I am working at Calit2 with Jurgen Schulze and Maurizio Seracini.

Italian art diagnostician Maurizio Seracini is a leading pioneer in the field of non-destructive analysis of art and architecture. With his company Editech, Seracini has compiled hundreds of multilayer scans of artwork, particularly layers created by scanning the artwork with different types of light and imaging technologies such as infrared, ultraviolet, and x-rays. Multispectral viewing of these works has repeatedly revealed exquisitely detailed underdrawings that are often different from the final painting, and can even suggest that different artists contributed to a single piece of art. Furthermore, this technology has the potentail to reveal hidden or covered art that has been obscured for practical or historical reasons.
The power of the IVL technology and software has been combined with Seracini's multispectral scans, giving researchers a new way to visually represent the different layers. I will be working in the IVL to modify and enhance the current imaging plugin.
Da Vinci's 'Adoration of the Magi'. Seracini's research suggests that Da Vinci is only responsible for the underdrawing of this artwork, while the painting was conducted by another less-skilled artist.
