Research

Virtual Experiences Research Group

 

Spring 2008: I am looking to support:

1. Undergraduates (Freshmen-Seniors) with experience in 3D modeling (e.g. Maya or 3DSMax). Info on the 3D Modeling job

 

2. Undergraduates (Freshmen-Juniors) with an interest in getting into research. They should be highly motivated and have experience in making games, or OpenGL.

 

3. Graduate students with experience in OpenGL. 1) read my info for graduate students (required), and 2) email me!

Bio: Benjamin C. Lok is an Assistant Professor in the Computer and Information Sciences and Engineering Department at the University of Florida.  He also holds an Adjunct Assistant Professor position in the Surgical Oncology Department at the Medical College of Georgia (however, he isn't so useful if you are sick).  His research focuses on virtual humans and mixed reality in the areas of computer graphics, virtual environments, and human-computer interaction. Professor Lok received a Ph.D. (2002, advisor: Dr. Frederick P. Brooks, Jr.) and M.S. (1999) from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a B.S. in Computer Science (1997) from the University of Tulsa.  He did a post-doc fellowship (2003) under Dr. Larry F. Hodges at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.  Professor Lok received a NSF Career Award (2007-2012) and the UF ACM CISE Teacher of the Year Award in 2005-2006.  He and his students in the Virtual Experiences Research Group have received Best Paper Awards at ACM I3D (Top 3, 2003) and IEEE VR (2008).  His work is supported by the National Science Foundation, National Institute of Health, and Association of Surgical Educators.
