Research Interests visual perception, computer graphics, scientific visualization, computer vision, computational neuroscience, and biomedical image-processing. Education 2006-Present University of California, Berkeley Berkeley, CA Ph.D. Student - Vision Science Advisors: Martin S. Banks (Vision Science), and Maneesh Agrawala (Computer Science) Ph.D. Expected 2011 1995-1999 University of New Hampshire Durham, NH Bachelors of Science - Computer Science Honors Program Participant Magna Cum Laude Employment 2006-Present University of California, Berkeley Berkeley, CA Graduate Researcher, Vision Science Program Advisors: Marty Banks, PhD, and Maneesh Agrawala, PhD Pursuing research projects related to visual perception and computer graphics. Current projects investigate non-photorealistic shading models and the extent to which they influence 3D shape perception. Our methods involve human psychophysical experiments to gain a better understanding of visual perception as well as inform better techniques in rendering 3D graphics. 2003-2006 Brigham and Womens Hospital Boston, MA Computer Programmer, Department of Neurosurgery Supervisor: Alexandra J. Golby, MD Developed C++ software (slicer) for 3D medical-visualization and surgical-planning in a brain-mapping laboratory (golby lab). Projects involved the correlation of fMRI activity with intracranial cortical-stimulation results, and the localization of intracranial electrodes based on surface models of the neuroanatomy. Programmed C++/Tcl/Tk modules for integrating neuronavigation application with intraoperative MRI system. Developed Matlab code for processing fMRI and intracranial EEG data. 2002-2006 Harvard University Cambridge, MA Computer Programmer, Department of Psychology Supervisor: Diego A. Pizzagalli, PhD Designed and managed computer infrastructure (software programming and system administration) for neuroimaging lab (Affective Neuroscience Lab). Developed C and Matlab code for statistical analyses of experimental behavioral data and EEG neuroimaging data. Assisted with design and implementation of image-processing pipeline for fMRI and EEG data, including the integration of signal-processing tools for filtering and segmenting time-locked EEG segments. Contributed research and data processing for the preparation of journal manuscripts. Configured and maintained lab network of workstations, application servers, data storage/recovery, and EEG data acquisition system. 1999-2002 Vividata, Inc. Berkeley, CA Software Developer Served as principal C/C++ software developer for image-processing UNIX applications. Wrote and maintained UNIX device drivers for printers/scanners. Developed back-end data-processing utilities for online photo commerce website. Managed code repository, bug tracking, software releases, and technical customer support for product line. 1998-1999 Fidelity Investments Merrimack, NH Software Developer Developed C/C++ software for human resources and payroll systems. Supported and debugged automated telephony system, integrating servers with Oracle databases. Completed testing for software releases, coordinating with QA department and product managers.
