"I strive to solve both technical and aesthetic design problems and enjoy using creativity to educate and motivate." |
Howard's research focuses on the pedagogy and cognitive aspects of scientific visualization. He uses multiple aspects of visualization tools and techniques as a means of study and application for acedemics and research. Including its use as an educational tool and the applications for using and creating visualization for learning. Many of his visualization applications revolve around real-world data, 3D graphics, simulations, and 2d interactive media. He often uses instructional design techniques and graphics programming to provide students and educators with technology that fit with their class projects, course presentations and research needs. He received a BFA from Ringling College of Art, and an M.Ed from the University of South Florida. He is currently in candidacy for Ph.D, in Engineering Science, Biomedical and Chemical Engineering at the University of South Florida. His unique skillset has allowed him to develop the Advanced Visualization Center at the University of South Florida, which serves as a campus wide resource. Howard's work has also been featured in the journal Science, Wired.com, Siggraph, Discovery.com, and Fox News. He was also selected by the Center for Digital Education as a Top 30 Technologists, Transformers and Trailblazers in 2014. Areas include: 2D & 3D Imaging, Medical Simulation, 3D Printing, Tactile Visualization, Physicalization, User Experience Design(UX), Instructional Design, Graphic User Interface Design (GUI), High Resolution Displays, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Stereoscopic Technologies, gesture control, creative coding, rapid prototyping, Game Design, 3D Modeling, Animation, and alternative methods for data representation. |
