EXPERIENCE      1983  to  present  -  Research  Assistant, Elaine Cohen,
                Alpha-1  Project,  Department   of   Computer   Science,
                University   of   Utah.    Responsible  for  developing,
                documenting and maintaining some software modules  in  a
                general,  Lisp-based  computer  aided  geometric design,
                graphics and analysis system, providing  powerful  tools
                with  necessary  generality  for  other researchers, and
                convenient interfaces for end users.    Thesis  research
                involves  research  into intuitive and practical methods
                for smoothly approximating data by  parametric  B-spline
                curves  and  surfaces,  for  use in design.  Develop and
                perform demonstrations of my research for sponsors.
