Academic Background

Chris began working with the Visualization and Graphics Research Group in the Center for Image Processing and Integrated Computing (CIPIC) (now called the Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization (IDAV)) in 2000 as an undergraduate research assistant. He graduated from the University of California, Davis in 2001 with a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering and a minor in German. In 2002, he earned his M.S. in Computer Science. Performing research under the guidance of Professor Ken Joy, Chris earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science at UC Davis. He focused primarily on the development of visualization techniques for scattered data. Chris's research interests also include volume visualization and point-based rendering.
