简介

Theodore Kim joined the Media Arts and Technology Program at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2011 as an Assistant Professor. His research investigates the multi-sensory (visual, audio, and haptic) phenomena that arise from the numerical simulation of physical systems. His current interests include the patterns that emerge from fluid turbulence, and the characteristic deformations that arise during human motion. He is generally interested in physical mechanisms for pattern formation, such as those that underlie snowflake and lightning formation. His research has appeared in over two dozen films, for which he received a Scientific and Technical Academy Award in 2012. He received an NSF CAREER award in 2013.
