Welcome
I am currently a 2nd year graduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the Department of Computer Science, focusing on human computer interaction and computer graphics (and anything else that I find interesting).
My research involves interacting with digital content that is overlayed onto physical display surfaces. Through research in Spatially Augmented Reality we can transform everyday objects into interactive displays. My advisor is Prof. Roy Campbell. I also explore the implications of SAR on live perfomance works and installation pieces with Prof. Guy Garnett through the Cultural Computing Group, IACAT and the eDream Institute at UIUC. I also recieve guidance from Prof. Brian Bailey.
This website serves as a collection of my technical and artistic endevours. The projects page contains detailed descriptions of my work in various domains.

I was 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."
