Welcome

I am currently a masters student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the Department of Computer Science, focusing on explorations in new media in the areas of ubiquitous computing, computer graphics, and human computer interaction (and anything else that I find interesting).

I am currently working on interaction schemes and content authoring methods for Spatially Augmented Reality or projection mapping. Spatially Augmented Reality (SAR) involves utilizing projectors to augment the surface properties of arbitrary three dimensional surfaces, essentially transforming the surface of an entire scene. We are currently exploring the implications of SAR on live perfomance works and installation pieces.

This website serves as a collection of my technical and artistic endevours. The projects page contains detailed descriptions of my work in various domains.

More recent updates on my research can be found at my research blog.

Recently named a Siebel Scholar Fellow. My research partner Rajinder Sodhi also became a Siebel Scholar.

"The Siebel Scholars program was established by the Siebel Foundation in 2000 to recognize the most talented students at the world’s leading graduate schools of business, computer science, and bioengineering. Each year, 80 exceptional students receive a $35,000 award during their final year of studies based on outstanding academic performance and leadership. Today, our active community of more than 500 Scholars serves as advisors to the Siebel Foundation and works collaboratively to find solutions to society’s most pressing problems."
