I am currently a graduate student at the University of Utah working with Cem Yuksel and Erik Brunvand as part of the Utah HardWare Ray Tracing group. Prior to joining the Ph.D. program at the U, I received a B.S. in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science at Davidson College, NC . My research interests include hardware ray tracing, energy efficient graphics accelerators, real time graphics, physically based rendering, light transport algorithms.
