    Dr. Doug DeCarlo

    My main interests are in the cognitive science of visual interaction: I explore how accounts of human perception and communication can inform computer systems that engage in natural and effective visual presentation. My recent projects in computer graphics have focused on shape depiction in line drawings, meaningful abstraction in images, and conversational animation.Email: This email address is being protected from spambots.

  • Vladimir Pavlovic

    Vladimir's research interests include Bayesian system modeling, time-series analysis, and statistical computer vision. More recently, his research has focused on modeling of human emotions and affect, as well as design of fast, robust, face tracking and identification systems. He is also interested in modeling and analysis of human crowd behavior from the perspective of distributed sensing and decision making systems.

  • Mubbasir Kapadia

    Aims to develop agent-centric models for simulating crowd dynamics that challenge foundational assumptions in crowd modeling, while providing solutions that are validated using comparisons to real data, and virtual reality experiments. These solutions can be used to optimize the behavioral dynamics of real crowds and model the relationships between crowd flow and environment features, with applications in predictive analytics and crowd management, and environment layout design. His other research interests include real-time multi-agent planning, character animation for autonomous virtual humans, and digital storytelling.

  • John P. McGann

    Professor/RuCCS Faculty Director

    Research in my laboratory employs neurophsyiological, behavioral, and theoretical methods to explore how humans and rodent models learn information about the world and apply this knowledge to the neural processing of incoming sensory stimuli. We are also interested in how dysfunction in these processes could manifest in mental and neurological disorders.

    My interest lies in the study of voluntary actions in general and the emergence of symbolic intelligence from them. In particular, I have been studying natural voluntary arm movements in the context of reaching for and grasping an object, obstacle avoidance, the acquisition and retrieval of a motor program, and more recently on the performance of a parietal patient and of patients with Parkinson's disease. I am also doing research on autism.

    Dr. Zhang's research combines computational modeling, behavioral methods and neural imaging to understand human memory. She is interested in how the human memory system uses its limited cognitive resources to efficiently retrieve past experiences and knowledge, and how we as researchers can design methods to improve human memory performance.

    Dr. Lee Cronk

    My main interest is in the role of culture in the evolution of human behavior. I use a framework based on animal signaling theory to explore such topics as mate choice, cooperation, the relationship between culture and behavior, and cross-cultural differences and similarities in perception and aesthetic judgments. I recently assembled a team of behavioral ecologists and computer scientists to study dance as a courtship signal, using motion capture animation to separate dancers’ movements from their outward appearance.Email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
