Additional Information

Research Scientist at the CATSS Lab, Department of Surgery, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, USA. Professor at the Computer Science Dep. of the Catholic University of Brasilia, Brasilia, DF, Brazil. Research Topics: Virtual Reality, Dynamic Simulation and Haptic Interfaces 1) real-time simulation of deformable objects 2)the LEM - Long Elements Method, a new method for physically based simulation of deformable objects, suitable for real time animation and haptic interaction 3)shared haptics: multi rendering and multi haptic interaction in a shared virtual environment 4)using local modeling techniques to handle the gap between real-time complex simulations (output rates >= 30 Hz) and its haptic rendering (input rate ~1KHz) 5) medical applications.
