(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Wan-Chun Alex Ma is a Taiwanese software engineer. Ma was born in 1978. Ma became interested in visual effects at a young age, influenced by the Star Wars film series and Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger, a video game released in 1994. He completed his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees at National Taiwan University. With the help of the Graduate Student Study Abroad Program of Taiwan's National Science Council. Ma went to the University of Southern California in 2005, completing his studies under Paul Debevec at the Institute for Creative Technologies. Since obtaining his doctorate, Ma has worked for Activision and Google.
