Research Summary

I work in computer graphics, tackling interdisciplinary problems from computer animation, graphics, simulation, mechanics, medical imaging and haptics. The main focus of my research is physically based simulation of digital humans, animals, plants and man-made objects, for use in film industry, computer games, interactive CAD/CAM (airplane/automobile manufacturing), and virtual medicine (surgery simulation). My interests include computer graphics, animation, real-time simulation, numerical mathematics, the Finite Element Method, applied mechanics, collision detection, contact, medical imaging, human body modeling, haptic rendering and model reduction. Of course, my interests are not limited just to these topics; I like computer graphics, numerical methods, computer science, and applied mathematics in general.
