Research Interests
My general areas of interest are computer graphics, animation, and
scientific visualization. More specifically, I am interested in volume
visualization, medical and information visualization, realistic rendering
and visualization techniques, especially for gases and fluids, procedural
modeling, texturing, rendering, and animation techniques, and advanced
illumination and shadowing techniques. For more information on some of
projects, visit the Graphics, Animation,
and Visualization Lab (GAVL) home page. My current research falls into
the following 3 categories:
- Effective Volumetric Visualization. I am working on perceptually
meaningful volumetric visualization techniques and exploring how they can
be used for information visualization, medical visualization, and scientific
visualization.
- Procedural Techniques for Computer Graphics. I have done much work
on procedural texturing techniques, procedural modeling, and
procedural animation.
- Volumetric Displays. We have a project to develop software to
drive a 3D glass cube volumetric display system. We are also
evaluating the usefulness of this technoloqy for a variety of applications.
