My research interests are in computer graphics and character animation. My dissertation proposes a control technique for physically simulated characters that perform directed steps for navigation, reactive steps for maintaining balance as well as continuous steps for walking and multiple step recovery. My previous work focused on hybrid approach combining motion capture and dynamic simulation to generate anticipatory and responsive motions for virtual characters. You can download my resume here.
