EDUCATION:

Brown University / Providence, RI
Inter-disciplinary Ph.D. completed May 2001 with the Department of Archaeology and the Department of Computer Science.

Brown University / Providence, RI
Master of Arts in Architectural History , 1997

Rice University / Houston, TX
Bachelor of Arts in Architecture , 1990

EXPERIENCE:

Department of Computer Science / Brown University (May 2001 - present) Providence, RI USA
Postdoctoral Research Fellow: Currently developing new visualization paradigms for a range of disciplines including: fluid dynamics, developmental neurobiology, geology and archaeology. The main goal of my research is to establish tested techniques to facilitate user cognition of multivariate data. Specifically, these techniques employ texture-based representations of multiple variables in two and three dimensions and additional cognitive aids for higher-level thought processes.

Shape Lab and the Department of Computer Science / Brown University (1998-present) Providence, RI USA
Research Assistant and Ph.D. Candidate: Ph.D. dissertation on research and development of the Archave system. The system allows a user to conduct research with three-dimensionally referenced archaeological data in the context of an immersive virtual reality environment, i.e., the Cave . Specific research goals using the system include developing ways facilitate visual queries, represent data containing multiple variables (specifically different spatial and temporal variables) and interact with data in Immersive Virtual Reality to conduct analysis. Archaeologists who used the system found that they were able to formulate and test hypotheses regarding their site data that could not formerly have been accomplished.

Shape Lab / Brown University (1999-present ) Providence, RI
Author, Consultant and Collaborator National Science Foundation Grant and new Research Lab: Key role in the writing and submission of a successful proposal for an NSF - KDI grant, which has lead to the establishment of the SHAPE Lab at Brown in late 1999. The Shape lab is developing new reconstruction (using computer vision) and data visualization and analysis techniques (with Computer Science and Archaeology) for Archaeologists through the cooperation of the Department of Anthropology, the Department of Applied Mathematics, the Department of Engineering and the Department of Computer Science.

The Great Temple, Petra, Jordan - Brown University Sponsored Excavations (1998 - 1999) Petra, Jordan
Researcher, Conducted a survey using photogrammetry to document architecturally significant areas of the Great Temple site. Surveyed, processed and published a paper outlining time/cost/accuracy rates for potential survey strategies in archaeology.

Graduate School / Brown University (1995-1998)Providence, RI
Research Assistant: Design and implementation of the graduate school on-line fellowships and grants database. Design and maintenance of the Brown University Graduate School Web site.   Interaction with all Brown University departments and mediator on projects in conjunction with the Scholarly Technology Group.

Department of Architectural History / Brown University (1997-1998) Providence, RI
Teaching Assistant and Lecturer: “Visual Cultures of the Spanish Empire,” and “The History of Modern Architecture from 1890.”
Computer Consultant: Lead on the project to digitize the art slide library.

Robert Luchetti Associates (1990-1994) Cambridge, MA
Architect: Design and construction for two residences in Sausalito, California. Research, planning and development for new Steelcase interior architecture line. Competition for future interior architecture installation at Steelcase.
