I completed my Ph.D. in computer science at the University of Washington in 2007, and I am now a researcher at Adobe Systems. Please see my new web page. For my Ph.D. thesis, I developed new interactive visualization techniques that help users understand and explore complex objects with many constituent parts (e.g., CAD models, anatomical datasets).

Design

In addition to doing research in computer graphics, I spend some of my time doing graphic design. Here are a few projects I've worked on in the last few years. Click here for larger images and more information.
