Vita:

Before joining USM in Fall 2009, I was a member of the Brown University Scientific Visualization Research Lab and the Graphics Group with Dr. David H. Laidlaw from 2006-2009. I completed my PhD degree in the 3DI group (led by Dr. Doug Bowman) at Virginia Tech in 2006, and Master’s degree at VERI led by Dr. R. Bowen Loftin.
