Personal Facts

I have published twenty research papers in professional journals and proceedings relating to user interface design, computer graphics, and the design of spatial, stereographic, and auditory displays. I was the sole recipient of a $10,000 scholarship award from the I/ITSEC for advancing the field of interactive computer graphics for flight simulation. I have also received an honorary award from the Link Foundation for my work furthering the field of virtual interface design. I have created five book covers for Harcourt Brace which feature the works of authors Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, and Stephen King. Several minutes of my computer graphics animations appear in the movie Beyond the Minds Eye produced by MIRAMAR. In addition, I have won two engineering design awards from the City of Los Angeles for the design of an energy saving product. In my free time I enjoy creating computer graphic images and animations as well as composing and recording music.
