If you recently completed a Ph.D. degree in Modeling and Simulation, Human Factors, Human Systems Integration or Computer Science, have experience with VR technologies and would like to work on exciting VR-related research projects check the details here. Living in one of the most gorgeous and environment-friendly places in the US comes as a special bonus!

Teaching

I currently teach "Human Factors in Virtual Environments" - MV4001 class:
        Winter Quarter 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006.

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
• 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
• videoconferencing
• hybrid systems - a mix of different technologies and approaches used for learning and training
• broadband networking and applications specially designed to harness such capabilities (Internet2)
