Adrian Secord
I am a PhD student at the Media Research Laboratory and Vision, Learning and Graphics Group in Computer Science Department of New York University.
I have worked in non-photorealistic graphics, physics-based models for simulation, and, most recently, user interfaces for modern media collections. My supervisors for this degree are professors Denis Zorin here at NYU and David Salesin at the University of Washington and Adobe Systems, Inc..
Academics
- Honours BMath, Computer Science and Applied Math, University of Waterloo
- MSc, Computer Science, University of British Columbia
- PhD in progress, Computer Science, New York University
Research
My current research is on designing better user interfaces to home photo collections and related problems.
In the past I have worked in physics-based models for graphics and non-photorealistic rendering:
- Fracture and plasticity for thin shell models on triangle meshes
- Fitting curves to clouds of data with applications to NPR
- Real-time hatching of 3D models
- Stippling with Voronoi-based models and earlier course work
- Sound generation by water droplets
