I am a Ph.D. candidate working with Professor Steven Feiner in the Computer Graphics and User Interfaces Lab. My lab is a part of the Columbia Vision + Graphics Center at the Department of Computer Science at Columbia University. My research is in augmented reality for procedural tasks, with particular interest in maintaining and repairing mechanical systems. I'm also exploring interaction and display techniques that leverage the natural affordances and deterministic visual cues available in these typically complex and feature rich environments. My research spans the areas of augmented reality, 3D graphics, 3D Gaming Engine application program interfaces, and computer-supported collaborative work. I am an Active Duty Army Officer, attending Columbia as part of the United States Army's Advanced Civil Schooling Program. I am currently assigned to the the faculty of the United States Military Academy Department of Systems Engineering, where I serve as an Assistant Professor of Systems Engineering. |

Augmented Reality for Maintenance and Repair (ARMAR) This project explores the use of mobile augmented reality technology to aid in the repair and maintenance of physical systems. The objective of this work is to research the design and development of experimental augmented reality systems for maintenance job aiding. This project explores how real time computer graphics, overlaid on and registered with the actual repaired equipment, can significantly increase the productivity, accuracy, and safety of maintenance personnel. Heads-up, motion-tracked displays augment the user's physical view of the system with information such as sub-component labeling, guided maintenance steps, real time diagnostic data, and safety warnings. The virtualization of the user and maintenance environment allows off-site collaborators to monitor and assist with repairs. Additionally, the integration of real-world knowledge bases with detailed 3D models provides opportunities to use the system as a maintenance simulator/training tool. This project features the design and implementation of prototypes integrating the very latest in motion tracking, mobile computing, wireless networking, 3D modeling, 3D Game Engine SDK's and human-machine interface technologies. This work was recently funded by the Air Force Research Laboratory Human Effectiveness Directorate, Warfighter Readiness Research Division Logistics Readiness Branch (AFRL/HEAL).
