Projects

Controlling Complex Dynamics
			Most recently, Adrien Treuille and I, along with Zoran Popović and Jos Stam, developed a technique for controlling fluid simulations using keyframes. See publications above.

Visualizing Motion from Video
			Aseem Agarwala and I devoted our HCI class project to exploring ways to create single-image visualizations of video clips containing human motion. Instead of trying to automate any single approach, we experimented with several techniques, creating examples by hand and taking a broad range of influences from Etienne-Jules Marey and Eadweard Muybridge to modern comic book art.

Fluid/Boundary Interaction
			Adrien Treuille and I briefly studied physically-based modelling of the interactions of thin boundaries (e.g. paper) with a fluid field. We finally concluded that the technique was overkill for most practical applications, but it nonetheless produced some interesting results.

Coursework - CSE 557
	Finally, a few projects from my graduate-level graphics class. First, I created an small tool for creating NPR versions of images (Non-photorealistic rendering). Adrien and I then worked on a Stereoscopic Ray-tracer. Lastly, we had our first exploration into the realm of smoke simulation (we've come a long way since then!).
