Overview | Creative Scholarship | Publications | Presentations | CV | Practice Archive
The following publications document peer-reviewed scholarly contributions at leading international venues in computer graphics, interactive techniques, and visual media production. Informed by my prior training in electrical and communications engineering, this practice-led research develops original technical methodologies for real-time character animation, advancing scholarship at the intersection of creative animation practice and applied research. This research is, at its core, animation scholarship that draws on technical methods to expand what is possible in creative practice.
