About Me
I am an Associate Professor of Film and Media Arts in the School of Communication at American University and the Founding Director of AU Institute for Immersive Designs, Applications, Experiences and Stories.
I received Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo, M.F.A. in Film (directing) from York University, M.A. in Communication Studies from Wilfrid Laurier University, and M.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Wroclaw. In my research, I focus on immersive technologies, specifically volumetric filmmaking, machine learning and exploration of Artificial Reality Continuum (ARC) applications in theater, health, and education domains. In my artistic practice, I direct traditional fiction and documentary films, and experiment with volumetric and generative filmmaking. I teach graduate courses in filmmaking, immersive filmmaking, game development and computer science/software engineering courses..
