Research

I'm creating new animation tools that provide sketch/multitouch-based interfaces and that build upon new shape and motion representations.

Other Interests

  • image/shape correspondence and warping
  • organic patterns and forms / generative art
  • user-interaction with optimization processes
  • polygonal mesh representations
