Methods for reducing the cost of dynamic simulations that a viewer cannot perceive.
Directing Simulations for Animation
Techniques for controlling the appearance and outcomes of simulations models.
Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering

Collision Intensive Rigid-Body Simulation Algorithms
Algorithms and research related to simulating large systems of colliding bodies.

From the Past

I graduated with a PhD in May 2000 from the Computer Science division at the University of California at Berkeley. My thesis is available online. Right here!

I received a BSc from the Computer Science department at the University of Sydney. My undergraduate thesis work was concerned with constraint-based scene design. The outcome was a modeling program called Sced.
