About

I'm currently a Research Assistant Professor in the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute at the University of Utah. I did my Ph.D. work at Purdue University in the Computer Science Department and was a member of the Computer Graphics and Visualization Lab.

My research focusses on Unconventional Mappings for Visual Analysis of Large Data.

1. Maximize the information bandwidth available in images using Camera Model Design and apply those techniques to computer graphics, visualization, computer vision, and computer-human interaction.
2. New forms of data simplification for compression and remote visualization of time-varying datasets.
3. Multi-scale visualization toward better understanding of the evolution of software performance.

My current work at Utah is on the NSF CDI Open Wildland Fire Modeling project.
