“Nothing is impossible if it is the right thing to do."

Hello!

My name is Alisa Neeman and I have just completed my PhD in computer science at UCSC.  My area of interest is scientific visualization and my co-advisors are Professor Alex Pang and Professor Boris Jeremić. I got my master's degree in computer science at SUNY Binghamton where my advisor was Professor Kanad Ghose. Currently I'm working on adding visualization capabilities to the OpenSees earthquake engineering simulator. The code can be found on NEESforge and here is a simple manual. I'm also involved on campus with ewomen. If you're interested in high performance computing, you might want to try my brother Henry's page.
