Student Recruiting:

             I am looking for highly motivated and dedicated Ph.D. and M.S. students to work with me. All students are expected to be self-motivated, hard-working, and creative team-players who are dedicated to quality research and willing to publish in leading computer graphics and visualization conferences and journals.  Preferences will be given to students who have excellent programming skills, and/or good mathematics/statistics background. Interested students are encouraged to directly contact me (via email) to pursuit this further.  The application information for the Department of Computer Science at the Kent State University can be found here.
