    Here I describe my work and projects. It is incomplete and will soon incorporate more projects, my resume, as well as other sections of interest.
 
Xtal-3D:
   I wrote the Xtal-3D application during a summer job at the European High Flux Reactor (ILL) Grenoble, France. The goal was to visualize crystalline structures in 3D. I principally wrote the fortran program to output a VRML file that can be viewed. The interface was then fairly simple (made using MetaCard) and has since been remodeled and now includes a version that can run on a internet server.


Marching cubes
   The marching cubes algorithm is well known. It is used to extract an isosurface, in the form of a series of triangles, using data in a 3 dimensional grid.


Ray Tracing
   This is my implementation of a ray tracer done as an open subject project for the cse573 class I took at Arisona State University during the semester of spring '98.


Virus Viewing
   I developed these two applications, aiming to improve the numeric model of a virus data set and viewing it interactively. This was done during my internship at the the NIAMS laboratory, at the NIH (National Institute for Health, Washington D.C.).


Car World
  I am developing this driving simulator, that runs under Windows and UNIX, as an open subject project for my DESS (graduate level course). The main goals are to develop my skills in openGL by writing an efficient 3D engine as well as building a mechanics engine to simulate suspension, damping and so on.


Landscapes
   This is a program I wrote for ISTAR to generate VRML worlds from their geographic data.


Vehicle Dynamics
SERA is a company based in Paris (France) and develops software for simulating the dynamic behaviour of vehicles. One of my contributions to this project is the fully interactive, 3D animation tool to visualize the data resulting from a simulation.
I will be glad to hear your comments about this page.
