About Me
I am a Ph.D. student advised by Dr. Joe Kider in the Computer Science program at Clemson University based out of the Charleston Innovation Campus. I completed my Master's in Modeling and Simulation at the University of Central Florida also under the mentorship of Dr. Kider. While at UCF, I picked up a graduate certificate in Mixed Reality Engineering to further establish my knowledge of the principles of augmented and virtual reality. Additionally, I am an alumni of Winthrop University with a degree in Digital Information Design with a concentration in Web Application Development and minors in Computer Science and Outdoor Leadership.
My main research interests are in using unobtrusive sensors, especially infrared cameras, to better understand human behavior. Applying this technology to not only real environment scenarios, but also to scenarios utilizing mixed reality. I also have broader interests in computer graphics, mixed reality, image processing, and infrared imaging.
I am simply on a goal to learn more about the world, myself, and everything in between. I have lots of interests, and I love talking about them. If you would like to know more about my research, any of the side projects in my blog, or what I'm doing on my Stardew Valley farm, you can email me at eport@clemson.edu.
Code examples and projects I am working on can be found on my GitHub at emjapo.
