Research Interests

Computer Graphics and Animation: Nadine has a broad interest in computer graphics and animation. Her primary area of research includes interactive character animation, real-time skinning, deformation, finite element methods, particle-based simulations, smoothed particle hydrodynamics, implicit skinning, collision detection, contact, and interactive physics.

Immersive Reality (VR/AR/XR): Nadine is using VR/AR/XR in interdisciplinary research projects that include computing, cognitive neuroscience, social interaction, training, and education.

Vision and Perception: SLAM, 3D reconstruction, feature detection, pattern recognition, structure from motion, and machine learning.
