Asst. Prof. Ron Metoyer joined the computer science department at Oregon State University in the fall of 2001 with a Ph.D. from the Georgia Institute of Technology where he worked in the Graphics, Visualization and Usability Center. His dissertation research involved behavioral modeling, specifically, modeling and visualizing the motion of pedestrians in urban and architectural scenes. Currently, Dr. Metoyer runs the Graphics and Imaging Technologies (GAIT) Lab along with his colleagues, Dr. Eric Mortensen, Dr. Eugene Zhange, and Dr. Mike Bailey. He and his students conduct research in creating interactive spaces and content for training and education. Research projects range from the development of believable character motion generation algorithms to the development of interfaces for novice users to create and interact with 3D content. One testbed application is a 3D immersive quarterback training environment for coaches and quarterbacks to use as a training and visualization tool. This work was recently funded by an NSF CAREER award entitled, "Understanding the Complexities of Animated Content".
