Research
My research interests include computational physics, computer graphics, compilers and languages, and games.
-
Banded Householder representation of linear subspaces using two to three QR decompositions.
-
Compression and direct manipulation of complex blendshape models using HSS representations and GPU acceleration (with Jaewoo Seo, J. P. Lewis, and Junyong Noh).
-
A quantized diffusion model for improved subsurface scattering in translucent materials (with Eugene d'Eon).
-
Robust high-resolution cloth using parallism, history-based collisions, and accurate friction (with Andrew Selle, Jonathan Su, and Ron Fedkiw).
-
Hybrid simulations of deformable solids including embedding and rigid body coupling (with Eftychios Sifakis, Tamar Shinar, and Ron Fedkiw).
-
Volume preserving finite element simulations of deformable solids (with Craig Schroeder and Ron Fedkiw).
-
Efficient simulation of large bodies of water by coupling two and three dimensional techniques (with Eran Guendelman, Frank Losasso, and Ron Fedkiw).
-
Melting and burning Lagrangian mesh-based solids into Eulerian grid-based fluids (with Frank Losasso, Eran Guendelman, and Ron Fedkiw).
-
