I am a postdoctoral fellow at Office of High Performance Computing and Communications (OHPCC) at Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications (LHNCBC), which is a research division of National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health. My research interests include Computer Graphics, Scientific and Information Visualization, Medical Imaging and applications, Human-Computer Interaction, Animation and Simulation, and Computer Vision. My current projects include information visualization tools for evaluation of medical literature classification, implicit shape modeling and medical imaging based on PDEs (Partial Differential Equations), and non-photo realistic rendering.

I received my Ph.D degree from Department of Computer Science, State University of New York at Stony Brook. In my dissertation "PDE-based Geometric Modeling and Interactive Sculpting for Graphics", I proposed a general PDE-based modeling paradigm that employs elliptic and parabolic PDEs with numerical techniques for geometric and physics-based modeling and interactive manipulation.
