I did my graduate research under Dr. Greg Luecke for a center at Iowa State University called the Iowa Center for Emerging Manufacturing Technology (ICEMT) which is a member of the Institute for Physical Research and Technology (IPRT). In 1999 our center was changed to the Virtual Reality Applications Center (VRAC). I am worked on a project in conjunction with John Deere in the field of Synthetic Environments (virtual reality), specifically the field of haptics.
