Research Interests
I am interested in dynamics and control of complex systems. My past
areas of research include the behavior of water droplet populations,
computer-aided geometric design, hybrid systems, 3D mesh segmentation,
fast ray tracing of fractal surfaces, and recursive shape description.
My current interests include physics-based simulation of human motion
and biomedical image processing.
