About me:
Teaching Statement: PDF (coming soon)
Research Statement: PDF
I am a lecturer and Ph.D. candidate in the Department of
Computer and Information Science, which is a
part of the School of Engineering and Applied
Science at the University of Pennsylvania.
My advisor is Dr. Norman I. Badler. I have a
Bachelors degree in Computer Science from The
Catholic University of America with minors in
Mathematics and Politics, and a Masters degree
in Computer Science from UPENN.
My research interests include realistically simulating decomposing virtual environments. I am
primarily interested in physically based techniques that automatically blemish and decay
scenes so they appear realistic. I am also interested in data-driven character animation
techniques to synthesize natural and physically realistic motions. Specifically, multi-modal
motion capture where I have published techniques on animating human fatigue.
For the past two years, I have managed the Center for Human Modeling and Simulation
Laboratory at Penn, serving as the Associate Director. I have helped many undergraduates
become published and go on to work for top companies: such as Dreamworks, Pixar, and Zynga.
Outside the classroom, I am very interested in
photography (joekiderphotography.com), traveling
(photos), reading (booklist), and sports.
