Jose Echevarria

Senior Research Scientist

San Jose

Jose joined Adobe Research in November 2016 after completing his Ph.D. at University of Zaragoza (Spain). He is currently based in New York City.

His research interests span different areas in computer graphics, computer vision and HCI. He focuses on developing novel creative tools for professional and novice users alike, and turning artistic knowledge and human perception into practical solutions that people can use to explore their creativity, while developing their visual literacy. He’s currently working on: color tools and interfaces for design, imaging, digital painting or accessibility; design intelligence and creative guidance.
