In Fall of 2013, I had the opportunity to mentor three middle school students in partnership with the SPARK program. To learn what a career in computer science could be like, our talented apprentices created a 3D virtual reality game that can be played in CAVE2.

My visualization of a large-scale Molecular Dynamics simulation won the 2nd place in the Image of Research 2013 competition. The visualization was done in the CAVE2 environment, featuring a 320-degrees stereoscopic view.

Where can you be taller than a six-story building, and smaller than a molecule? Inside the Electronic Visualization Lab’s CAVE2. "You get a totally different perspective than if you’re just looking at a small picture on your laptop screen. It helps you understand data better"...

Merging the worlds of ecology and computer science meant a trip to the Mpala Research Center in Kenya for Chicago graduate students. Students enrolled in field computational ecology at the University of Illinois at Chicago made the trip to Kenya in January. In Africa, they conducted experiments, used computer technology to gather wildlife data, and took 3D images and video footage to create Mpala as a virtual space back home...

We were featured on the front page of Vancouver Sun's bussiness news while demoing our interactive applications for Large, High-Resolution screens at SIGGRAPH 2011 with our collaborators at the University of California, San Diego and King Abdullah's University of Science and Technology.

Chicago's WBEZ public radio covered some of my work on interactive Multi-touch visualizations in their Chicago Matters series.
