Selected Experience:

Research Assistant, Stanford University, Stanford, CA		2004 – Present
- Working on the Constellation Project, an explorative graph visualization tool that is based upon a database graph formalism
- Designing and implementing a visualization system for network intrusion detection 

Co-founder, Light Foundry LLC, Berkeley, CA			2004 – Present
- Designing, implementing and testing systems for architectural design, light planning, and lighting analysis through the use of visualizations and innovative interfaces

Research Assistant, U.C. Berkeley, Berkeley, CA			2002 – 2004
- Developed the Live Panorama System, which allows remote users to control a robotic camera that automatically generates panoramic context for the live video, with applications to tele-presence and tele-conferencing. Under the direction of Professor Kenneth Y. Goldberg

Research Assistant, U.C. Berkeley, Berkeley, CA			2002 – 2004
- Designed, implemented and tested a refinement algorithm that optimizes paths on high genus surfaces into a pseudo-geodesic curve with linearly varying curvature, used to describe how highly connected graphs may be mapped crossing free onto surfaces of suitable genus. Under the direction of Professor Carlo H. Séquin

Research Assistant, U.C. Berkeley, Berkeley, CA			2002 – 2004
- Developed LightSketch, a system for architectural design and lighting analysis using sketch recognition and spreadsheet visualizations, supported by the Radiance rendering package. Under the direction of Professor John Canny. 

Research Scholar, Next Generation Internet, Berkeley, CA	2002 – 2002 
– Designed, implemented and built an internet controlled remote rover with real time video and sound capabilities.

Teaching Assistant, U.C. Berkeley, Berkeley, CA			2002 – 2002 
– Held discussion and lab sections; and assisted students on course material for the Machine Structures course, covering materials including computer architecture, compilers, and assembly language
