2022Delivered a significant update to our course,"Dynamic Deformables: Implementation and Production Practicalities", which was presented at Siggraph 2022 in Vancouver. Lead Simulation team in Tailoring Tools improvements, collision detection optimization and a strands prototype. 2021Delivered a significant refactor of our simulator's parallelism to handle.

Working with industry leading external parties to design of a Usd schema to describe the physical properties of objects for simulation. A first version of a schema for rigid body simulation has been released. We are currently working on expanding the schema to describe deformable simulation of

I've returned to Pixar to continue my efforts of delivering world-class tools to empower our artists and streamline their workflows. I worked with Ted Kim in research to deliver volume fibers which give anisotropic control to our tetrahedral simulations and also to provide a skin sliding solution that was much more efficient than our previous Physbam.

I worked in Adobe Research to further develop early efforts related to photogrammetry, such as portrait relighting. In addition to my development duties, I lead an effort on the Research Engineering and Infrastructure Committee to raise the code quality bar in research. This effort resulted in holding a full day Code Quality Workshop with nearly 100.

2017-2018:I collaborated with our research group and refactored the cloth simulator in order to support simulation of tetrahedral meshes with their invertible element model. This allows coupled simulations between volume and cloth meshes. This work is also being heavily used as a pre-sim deformation on characters to allow for cleaner simulation of the.

Mountain View, California, US

Developed core libraries for representing, manipulating and visualizing explicit and implicit geometry of coronary segmentations. Architected and implemented large portions of an automatic pre-processing pipeline to test our algorithms. Took responsibility for delivering a suite of algorithms that robustly generate quality meshes compatible with the CFD.

Glendale, CA, US

Implemented a general implicit particle system for simulating character dynamics of short hair, floppy ears and pony tails. Worked closely with CFX Artists and TDs to create a proprietary cloth system/work flow exposed as a Maya plug-in. Wrote an efficient parallelized solver with a novel jacobian formulation to guarantee stability at very large time steps.

While working at PDI I taught an introduction class in computer graphics algorithms to students in the VGP program. All of my students landed jobs in the industry upon graduation. I'd like to think I had some part in that, but it was their hard work and that of my fellow instructors.

Dublin, IE

Worked on the SDK team of the world’s leading real-time rigid body dynamics system. Specifically worked on constraints and graphical displays to allow users to debug their setup. Independently started R&D on finite element modeling of deformation and fracture. Presented a sketch on procedural approach for fast fracture effects at Siggraph’03.

Burbank, CA, US

Worked on collision detection and dynamics of a cloth-like system for the film "Reign of Fire." Presented results of this work at Siggraph’02 Sketches and Applications. Developed texturing tool for a subdivision surface pipeline used on "Chicken Little."
