Research Experience
Currently, my research is focused on developing geometric and statistical methods for understanding shape variations in human and other biological forms. I lead the Digital Human Modeling Project at the National Research Council of Canada. We apply statistical shape analysis to 3-D anthropometric data and develop tools to visualize human shape variations. In the past, I worked on piecewise linear approximation of continuous surface (tessellation), robot motion planning, and finite element analysis for simulating engineering processes.
Background
My primary research interest is in analyzing and processing of geometric information arising from the physical world. This problem lies at the center of a few related fields: computer graphics, computer vision, robotics, and computer-aided design. My goal is to create computationally efficient schemes for processing geometric data in various applications.
