I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Central Florida in 2004.
I began my career as a programmer in 1994, systems architect, and later project manager for several European and U.S. software development companies.
At Optical Diagnostics and Applications Laboratory, my primary focus was the development of novel distributed applications based on Augmented Reality paradigms for the medical simulation and of algorithms that enhance consistency in distributed interactive environments.
In 2003 I received the Link Foundation Fellowship in Advanced Simulation and Training and the Hillman Award for Distinguished Doctoral Research in Computer Science.
In 2006 I joined the Computer Science department at the Armstrong Atlantic State University where I currently teach, research and develop multimodal environments for simulation and training (see NEWS Laboratory).
My research interests include, distributed systems and applications, virtual and mixed reality environments, human computer interaction, haptics and motion tracking sensors.
I am currently developing distributed Augmented Reality systems for medical training and simulation as well as novel haptic-based applications.
I have published on subjects covering 3D visualization systems, augmented reality applications, distributed systems architectures, motion tracking and haptic interaction (see my publications).
I am a professional member of the ACM, IEEE, SPIE and the International Honor Society for the Computing Sciences as well as several special interest groups like PittJUG (Pittsburg Java Users Group) and an alumni of the Distributed Systems Group at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca.
