my-CALL SHAH-feh

In my spare time, I'm an assistant professsor at the California State University Fullerton. I will be developing a program concentrating on game development, computer graphics, and interactive techniques.

In a prior life, I was a graduate student at The Computer Graphics Lab at The University of California, Irvine in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Science. I came to UCI in 2000 where I became one of the first four graduate students in the new computer graphics lab. I have also helped Aditi Majumder set up her new Large Scale Display Lab at UCI.

My advisor was Renato Pajarola who recently left UCI to head the Visualization and MultiMedia Lab at the University of Zürich. I have worked with Professor Renato Pajarola on continuous level-of-detail meshes, dynamic management of triangle strips for level-of-detail meshes and parallel rendering on commodity clusters.

Research

My research interests are primarily in the area of computer graphics. I am particularly interested in interactive/real-time applications for computer graphics. Currently, I am working on parallel rendering and work a generalized workload metric for sort-first interactive parallel rendering.

I have been meaning to create a page discussing my current research.

Teaching

Most recently, I have taught courses in computer graphics and game development. In the past, I have been the teaching assistant for Java, C, Scheme, computer graphics, and operating systems courses.

More information about the courses I have been involved with can be found on my teaching page.

Service

While at U.C. Irvine, I filled a variety of roles within a number of different student organizations. I was elected to a number of positions within the Associated Graduate Students as well as being elected as a UAW local 2865 steward for district 3. All the nitty gritty is in my C.V. (which gets updated every now and again).

At CSU Fullerton, I am looking forward to being an active member of the University.

If you ever want to buy me a gift, you may want to browse my Amazon.com books & CDs wish list, DVDs wish list, or my B&H Photo Video wish list.

For prospective graduate students, I recommend reading my opinions about being a graduate student at UCI and living in central Orange County.
