Online CV
I was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and graduated
Cum Laude from the McCallie
School in June, 1990. I attended Emory University in Atlanta and graduated Phi
Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude in May, 1994. My honors thesis was entitled,
"Performance Analysis of the Conch Concurrent Computing System." I
was married to the former Dawn Elizabeth Buck in 1995.
I performed my Ph.D. research at Georgia Tech,
in the College of
Computing and the GVU Center. I was part of the Virtual
Environments Group, and my advisor was Dr. Larry F. Hodges.
I joined the faculty in the Department of Computer
Science at Virginia
Tech in August, 1999. I head the 3D interaction
(3DI) research group, and participate in the University
Visualization and Animation Group (UVAG) and Center for
Human-Computer Interaction.
Dawn and I live in Blacksburg,
Virginia with our three children. We are committed to Jesus Christ and are active
in the ministries of Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church.
