Be sure to try the portfolio images and videos!  2 pages forward.
My resume and videos are available here.  For some avis, you have to go to the http://www.divx.com download to get the codec.  Otherwise, they are microsoft friendly wmv formats.
 
This content is all about high performance 3D interaction and CAD modeling, including real-time finite element interaction for deformable tools and anatomy, and parametric and implicit modeling for collision detection and mechanical surface constraints.
 
The applications of this modeling and interaction are for CAD prototyping, preoperative "trial run" procedures, medical training, medical illustration, and CAD manufacturing.
 
Career Objectives

To enhance the state of the art in computational geometry and finite element analysis, especially for interactive modeling and biomedical applications, and incorporating these methods into large, scalable, industrial-strength systems.
