.: about me

I'm an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the Michigan State University Department of Computer Science and Engineering I'm director of the Media and Entertainment Technologies Laboratory (METLAB). I'm teaching CSE 471 Media Processing and Multimedia and CSE 473 Fundamentals of 3D Game Development in the Fall Semester.

I'm doing work in Augmented Reality, the blending of virtual elements with reality.  Of particular interest lately is the concept of virtual humans, simulations of human beings in virtual and augmented environments.  I also study Multimedia Systems, particularly new techniques for locating content in multimedia databases and for creating vivid and exciting multimedia presentations.
