Virtual Experiences Research
Group Spring
2010: I am looking
to financially support: Undergraduates (Freshmen-Seniors)
with either experience
in 3D modeling (e.g. Maya or 3DSMax). Info on the 3D
Modeling job or with an interest in getting
into research. Students should be highly motivated and have experience in
making games or OpenGL. Graduate
students with experience in 3D computer
graphics. To ensure a
response to your email, all interested students should: 1) read my info for graduate students 2) chat
with virtual me (remember to say “goodbye”) |

Bio: Benjamin C. Lok is an Associate
Professor in the Computer and Information
Sciences and Engineering Department at the University
of Florida. He is also an Adjunct
Associate Professor in the Surgery Department at the Medical College of Georgia . 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 primarily supported
by the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health. He currently serves on the Steering Committee
of the IEEE Virtual Reality conference, program co-chair of the ACM VRST 2009
and IEEE Virtual Reality 2010 conferences, and area chair for IEEE ISMAR 2009.
