Research

Subsurface Scattering

Recently my research focused on the simulation of light scattering in terms of realistic image synthesis (the soft lighting on the dolphin image above). I've also been involved in some bioinformatics related problems; a few of these projects are shown below.

Since moving to St. Lawrence I have been interested in introducing undergraduates to real research problems. I literally have a pile of open problems accessible to the motivated undergraduate. Feel free to stop by if you're interested.

I have several exciting projects in the works involving real time rendering, bioinformatics, and data visualization.
