Background

I am currently on sabbatical at the College of William and Mary, working the Department of Computer Science.

Otherwise, I am an Associate Professor in the Visual Computing Division of the School of Computing at Clemson University.  I received a B.S. from the College of William and Mary, where I double-majored in Computer Science and Mathematics.  After completing my Master’s in Computer Science at the University of Virginia, I worked for NASA Goddard Space Flight Center as a computer engineer.  I joined the School of Computing at Clemson University in 1999 after completing my Ph.D. in Computer Science from North Carolina State University.

Research

While on sabbatical, I plan to work in two primary areas of research: computational photography and brain-computer interfaces. 

At Clemson, my primary research focus is computer graphics, with special emphases in parallel rendering and virtual reality.  Under two separate NSF grants, we have introduced non-trivial graphics problems into the undergraduate curriculum to teach basic concepts in computer science.

I have more recently begun research in the relatively new area of brain-computer interface.
