--> Current PostDoc Opportunities:
      We have two National Research Council - NRC - sponsored postdoc positions available (Research Associateship Programs). If you recently completed a Ph.D. degree in Modeling and Simulation, Human Factors, Human Computer Interaction, Computer Science or Cognitive Science, have experience with VR technologies and would like to work on exciting VR-related research projects check the details here. This is an opportunity to work within a unique DoD education and research institution - the first national university to offer the master and PhD degrees in M&S. Living in one of the most gorgeous and environment-friendly places in the US comes as a special bonus!

Teaching

I currently teach following master level courses:

• Human Factors in Virtual Environments - MV4001:
          Winter Quarters in AY12, AY11, AY9, AY08, AY07, and AY06.
  
• Human-Computer Interaction - CS 3004: CS3004
          Fall Quarter AY12, Spring Quarter AY11
         

Research

The largest portion of my time is dedicated to research work on different projects. My research interests and expertise include:

• computer graphics and virtual environments
• coupling emerging technologies with systems for training and learning
• human factors and presence in VR
• evaluation of learning and training effectiveness in computer supported environments
• game-based systems
• use of sensor technologies on physical training ranges - bringing analog information (training on a physical range) into digital domain
• virtual humans
• projections on irregular surfaces
• validation of simulated human behaviors
• design of novel training methodologies and pedagogies in support of learning and training with simulations and game-based systems
• diffusion of innovation: design, dissemination, deployment, and the use of simulations and game-based systems for learning and training in the context of needs exercised by the majority of potential users (large scale adoption issues)
• multiuser communication and collaborative environments
• hybrid systems - a mix of different technologies and approaches used for learning and training
