About me

My research focus is general-purpose computation and visualization on GPUs and GPU clusters. Around this topic, real-time graphics, visualization, parallel computing, and physically-based modeling are interesting to me. My PhD advisor is Professor Arie Kaufman. I am expected to graduate in August 2008.

Projects

General purpose computation on GPUs / GPU clusters

Modeling of flows on 3D surfaces

Modeling and visualization of natural phenomena

Sketch-based interface for collaborative design
