Hi everyone, I am Jernej Barbic. At Ziva, I serve as the Chief Technology Officer. I work on the science and technology behind our products: algorithms, Finite Element Method, solid mechanics of deformable objects, stable and efficient simulation, anatomical modeling, active deformable objects (muscles), real-time simulation (including fast, speed-optimized code), collision detection, ...
I have been working on these topics for the last 15 years, first as a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University, then since 2009 as a computer science professor at the University of Southern California. Ziva Dynamics is a great opportunity to put all of the research ideas to practice. :-)
