Projects that I supervise will
involve computational models based on experimental data
use interactive 3D graphics and animations as tools for exploring and explaining complex systems
deal with fundamental issues concerning evolution, growth and/or motion of animals
be related to applications in information processing, robotics and/or biomedicine
involve collaborations locally (e.g. School of Dentistry) and internationally (e.g. NASA-JPL, California).
