My dissertation research explores mesh deformation for 3D character rigs with emphases on skinning, shape control, real-time performance, interactive animation, physical simulation, and virtual reality. Occasionally I post about Aestus: my animation research software.
As a member of the UC Davis ModLab, I also work on Play the Knave, "an augmented reality video game for Windows that enables virtual design and performance of scenes from Shakespeare". My main contributions are the avatar animation system, Kinect components, karaoke text effect, and the Scriptmaker.
I also really really like making shaders.
