I am an Associate Professor with School of Computing, Clemson University. Before joining Clemson, I was a faculty member with Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the University of New Mexico. I am still a research faculty with UNM ECE and CS. I received my Ph.D. degree at the
University of Texas at Dallas (with David Daniel fellowship). I am a recipient of the NSF CRII award (2015) and CAREER award (2019). My research aims to develop efficient and customized computing methods for challenging problems in computer graphics, animation, vision, simulation, robotics, and many other applied areas. Our lab has multiple RA openings for smart and hardworking Ph.D. students. Drop me an email if you are interested in joining my group.
