Research

I am primarily interested in physical simulation as it pertains to computer graphics, specifically fluid dynamics. I have done work on coupling thin deformable objects with fluids (i.e. cloth and water). More recently I developed a hybrid Lagrangian/Eulerian vortex method for improving small scale details in fluid simulations. My research advisor is Ron Fedkiw. In the past I have been a research consultant at Intel Corporation. In addition, I have been a consultant with Industrial Light + Magic for the past year, during which I was credited in the films "Poseidon", "Pirates of the Caribbean III", and "Evan Almighty" (hollywood.com, IMDB) while also doing work on Pirates of the Caribbean II.
