I just joined Google and will be working from their Montreal office on exciting projects. Prior to that, I was a teaching post-doc fellow in UBC's Imager Lab with professor Michiel van de Panne. I completed my Ph.D. in February 2008 at Ligum, the Graphics Lab of Université de Montréal, under the supervision of professor Pierre Poulin. My research interests covered a wide spectrum, from fire synthesis to character animation, mocap compression, motion graph synthesis, and motion motif extraction. My most recent publications proposed new control mechanisms for physics-based characters.
