Upcoming Absences

Hello! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Iowa. My specialty is computer graphics, in particular interactive rendering of realistic images, though my interests include other realistic and interactive rendering problems and visualization. I have a one page slide graphically depicting these interests.

Before joining the faculty here at the University of Iowa, I spent five years at the University of Utah's School of Computing, where I finished my Ph.D. in 2004.
