Education

• Ph.D. student in the College of Computing at Georgia Tech in Graphics and Visualization since Fall 2000
• M.S. in Computer Science at Georgia Tech Summer 2006
• B.S. in Computer Engineering at Auburn University Spring 2000

Research

Projects

• Current interests - 3D geometry processing... model repair and simplification. Currently working with Jarek Rossignac on shape summarization.
• Worked with Bill Ribarsky, Chris Shaw, and the Virtual Worlds Lab
on visualizing an extensive and massive database of geo-located geometry.
• Developed a splat-based algorithm for visualizing unstructured volume data as part of the Real-time, 3D Weather project of the DataVis Group.
• Implemented a painterly renderer for a CS 7490 (Advanced Image Synthesis) project.
• Explored physics-based animation of solid deformable objects using lattices for a CS 7496 (Computer Animation) project.
• Explored watershed segmentation for a CS 7495 (Computer Vision) project.
