I currently collaborate with Prof. Charles E. Hughes, in the
Media Convergence Lab.
I focus on techniques for modeling
fire realistically.
Before coming to UCF, I was a senior researh assistant at MIRALab,
University of Geneva, where I worked on rendering of woven materials.
I have obtained my Ph.D. for my work on modeling and rendering gaseous volumes from
SERC , Indian Insitute
of Science, Bangalore.
