Experience

Graduate Research Assistant
Georgia Institute of Technology - Atlanta, Georgia
 Graphics, Visualization, and Usability Center
 Visualization software developer on a multi-disciplinary NASA project: "Parallelization & Visual Analysis of Dynamical/Chemical Atmospheric Models". Responsible for the user interface for the system and the atmospheric modules. The system was implemented in an IRIS Explorer environment with custom modules and a custom user-interface. Designed the architecture for the new "Glyphmaker" visualization system. Created a graphical steering interface in the visualized scene for consistent visualization and control of the atmospheric model.

Doctoral Thesis

Visualizing Large Datasets via Spatial/Spectral Analysis
This thesis examines the issues in rendering and visualizing large three-dimensional datasets. New techniques and algorithms are developed to allow the efficient or real-time rendering of arbitrary data sources. The algorithms exploit constraints in the information content of the data. Issues addressed include computational speed, data compression, interactivity, and light modeling.
