====== About ======


I'm currently a Post Doctoral Researcher in the [[http://www.sci.utah.edu|Scientific Computing Institute]] at the [[http://www.utah.edu|University of Utah]].  I did my Ph.D. work at [[http://www.purdue.edu|Purdue University]] in the [[http://www.cs.purdue.edu|Computer Science Department]] and was a member of the [[http://www.cs.purdue.edu/cgvlab|Computer Graphics and Visualization Lab]].  I defended my dissertation in July of 2010 and graduated in August of 2010.

My primary research interest includes [[phd|Camera Model Design]] and its applications to computer graphics, visualization, and computer vision.  I also have an interests in multicore & parallel desktop computing, perception of non-traditional stimuli, and visualization of large-scale simulation data.  I have a more casual interest is computational photography, global illumination, image processing, and 3D acquisition.  

My current work at Utah includes the [[http://www.vacet.org|DOE VACET]] and [[http://www.sci.utah.edu/cibc/|NIH CIBC]] projects.
