About Me

I graduated with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford in June 2008, where my advisor was Ron Fedkiw. I am currently employed at Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, CA. Before this I was in graduate school and also consulted at Industrial Light + Magic and Intel Corporation. I received my undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin Madison. I have been credited on several movies: Poseidon (2006), Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007), Evan Almighty (2007), The Princess and the Frog (2009). Tangled (2010). Winnie the Pooh (2011). My interest is primarily physical simulation in special effects, specifically fluid and deformable solid effects. For more information and details see below or my curiculum vitae.
