PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Graduate Researcher, UC Davis (Apr 2004-present)
Developing graphical user interfaces and rendering methods for visualizing time-varying, multivariate scientific 3D simulation data. Based on scientists’ need, appropriate visualization is designed for each aspect of the simulation. Such visualizations are tightly linked together through intuitive interaction methods driven by commodity graphics hardware. Software development has been conducted as a team effort by mentoring undergraduates.
Software Engineer Intern, Siemens Corporate Research (SCR) (Jun-Sep 2007)
Developed line drawing algorithm for volume data and applied it to generate a clear visualization of multi-modal brain dataset. The algorithm is also applied to show the segmentation uncertainty by mapping the line width to uncertainty. Worked with other interns who were responsible for preparing multi-modal datasets.
Software Engineer Intern, National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) (Jul-Aug 2004)
Implemented a high-quality and interactive volume rendering engine for stretched grids by utilizing an advanced features of a graphics hardware. The engine is now a part of Open Source data analysis package, VAPoR.
Teaching Assistant, UC Davis (Sep 2003 - Mar 2004)
Taught two undergraduate classes: Data Structure and Algorithm and Computer Graphics.
Under Graduate Researcher, University of Tsukuba (Apr-Aug 2002, Jun-Mar 2003)
Developed an image based rendering scheme to reconstruct animated background of a soccer game using image sequences captured from synchronized multiple cameras covering the entire stadium.
Software Engineer Intern, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) (Apr-Aug 2003)
Implemented an algorithm to detect objects and its position in a room for human gesture recognition system. The system takes stereo images as inputs which are obtained from stereo cameras mounted at each corner of a room.
Software Engineer Intern, Assign Inc. (Jun 1998 - Feb 1999)
Implemented a part of merchandise management system using Visual Basic, developed commercial web pages, and wrote a manual for product management software.
