Short Bio

I am currently a Senior Physics Engineer at LucasArts. In June 2012 I graduated from the Computer Science Ph.D. program at Stanford University where I worked with Professor Ron Fedkiw. During grad school I also consulted at Industrial Light + Magic.

My primary research interests are in computer graphics, computer animation, and physical simulation. I am interested in creating realistic and responsive animations and simulations for numerous applications including video games and movies. I am particularly interested in the problem of creating detailed, large-scale simulations.

I completed my undergraduate degree at Carnegie Mellon University in December 2006 with a B.S. in Computer Science and a minor in Political Science. At Carnegie Mellon I worked with Professor Jessica Hodgins.
