	Google Scholar Profile

I am an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I completed my Ph.D. in computer science at the University of California at Berkeley, where I worked in the Berkeley Computer Animation & Modeling group. I then spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow in the City of Bridges working in the Graphics Lab at Carnegie Mellon University. Before returning home to Maryland, I was an assistant professor in the School of Computing at the University of Utah.

My primary research interests are in computer graphics and animation, especially using physics-based animation. I am also interested in scientific computing, numerical methods, computational physics and computational geometry.
