Ph.D. Computer Science

I did my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science, at the University of Toronto. Here are the courses I took to fulfill the breadth requirements: CSC2530H Visual Modeling (my web page) CSC2529H Computer Animation (my web page) CSC2504H Computer Graphics CSC2503H Computational Vision CSC2524H Topics in Interactive Computing

Master of Computer Science

I did my MCS degree in the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Computer Science, which consisted of 5 graduate level courses at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa, as well as a thesis. My OCICS courses were: 95.508F (CSI 5164I) Computational Geometry 95.515F (CSI 5132I) Parallel Processing Systems CSI 5389 (95.590O) Electronic Commerce Technologies 95.590W (CSI 5140IW) Real-time System Development 95.590X (CSI 5140IWA) Wireless Networks & Protocols Teaching Assistant Resources 95.402A Real-time Computer Graphics (Fall 2001) This is a page I set up for the course I was a TA for in the Fall 2001 term. It contained regularly updated course news, such as assignment information, project information, links to course notes, and sample downloads. It also contains a useful set of graphics programming links if you're into computer graphics. I was also the TA for this course in the Fall of 1999, so click here if you want to take a look at the old page. 95.205A Internet Applications (Fall 2000) This was a page I set up for the course I TA'd in Fall 2000. This was NOT the official course web page, but rather a supplementary page that contained links to information and resources such as tutorials for HTML, JavaScript, and Perl.
