ABOUT ME

I am a Full Teaching Professor of Animation and Game Art at Northeastern University in Boston, where I also serve as Program Coordinator. As an award-winning animator and cinematographer, my creative work has been featured at international festivals and conferences including SIGGRAPH (Los Angeles & New Orleans), Ani Mundi (Rio de Janeiro), Seoul Film Festival (Korea), and ASIFA East (NYC).

Alongside my creative practice, I’ve been a long-time member of both ACM SIGGRAPH and ASIFA East, engaging with global communities advancing animation, design, and digital media.

As an educator and administrator, I’m passionate about developing innovative curriculum and programs that prepare students to thrive in the animation and game industries. I believe today’s students need an educational experience that bridges career-focused training in animation, visual effects, and game art with a strong foundation in the arts, sciences, and humanities.

My recent teaching spans courses in Animation Basics, 3D Modeling & Asset Creation, Physics & Dynamics-Driven Animation, Concept Development & Pre-production, and Media Arts Degree Project.

In addition to teaching and research, I authored Exploring Digital Cinematography (Cengage Learning, 2007), an introduction to the essential concepts and technologies of digital cinematography.
