 Byounghyun Yoo is a research scientist of the Center for Environmental Sensing and Modeling (CENSAM) of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) Centre established by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a visiting research scientist of the Center for Educational Computing Initiative (CECI) of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) since April 2009. He was a post-doctoral research fellow of the Modeling, Virtual Environments, and Simulation (MOVES) Institute of the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey of California before he joined MIT in 2009. He is the first Web3D fellow of Web3D Consortium. As a Web3D fellow he worked closely with the X3D Earth Working Group of the Web3D Consortium on scientific and
engineering challenges that are particularly important for advancing
the X3D standard. Before he joined the MOVES group, he was a research fellow at the Intelligent Computer Aided Design (iCAD) laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). And he had been the chief research director of virtual reality group at PartDB Co., Ltd..
The principal focus of his research has been fusion of geospatial information and virtual reality technology. His research interests include modeling and rendering of large scale
virtual environment, fusing VR (virtual reality) and GIS (geographic
information system) technology, image-based modeling and rendering,
general purpose computation using graphics hardware, multi-sensory VR
system, physics based virtual reality, and VR system integration. He
has a BS from the Yonsei University of Korea, and a MS and a PhD from the KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology). He was a staff of the web-based journal, International Journal of CAD/CAM (www.ijcc.org). He developed a geometric modeling kernel for a 3D
CAD system during his MS degree and an image-based technique for modeling large-scale urban
environments using aerial photograph and digital map as part of his
doctoral dissertation research. He was also engaged in the development of
various virtual reality simulators including two bicycle VR simulators,
a sports helicopter simulator and two multi-sensory VR effects systems.
He also contributed to the construction of large virtual environment from GIS
data for these simulators. |
