Education

Master of Science & Master of Fine Arts; EVL, UIC, Chicago IL; Spring 1997;

The EV program integrates the talents of artists and engineers in the design of immersive input environments, large database visualization, and network communication.

Worked with the Cave Automated Virtual Environment (CAVE^tm), using C++, X, and OpenGL on SGI unix workstations.

Bachelor of Arts; Oberlin College, Oberlin OH; Spring 1992;

Completed the Liberal Arts degree with a combined major in Studio and Art History, and a Computer Science minor.

The Liberal Arts curriculum encouraged my interdisciplinary interests in such diverse areas as linguistics, sociology, and architecture, as well as computational engineering and synthetic imaging.
