Interests
My research areas are primarily in computer graphics and simulation. I have published primarily in the area of crowd simulation which is an interdisciplinary field between graphics, simulation, and artificial intelligence though the main thrust of my published work was the inclusion of machine learning into the mix. Recently I have been working on the vectorization of raster graphics and starting to branch out into other applications of simulation and high performance computing.
Publications
Here is a list of publications subdivided by whether or not I was the first author, and further divided by the type of venue. At some point I'll clean up the citations so they are a consistent style and perhaps host some of the articles here depending on copyright restrictions.
First Author
Since being first author gives the most academic street cred, I'll lead off with these.

I wasn't the all-important first author on these but contributed enough to make the author list.
