Animated flag via OpenGL

Animated flag of the Fresh Water Pirates
OpenGL and the GL Shading Language can be used to create realistic graphic animations. In this example I've used a quad mesh and bound a 2 dimensional texture (image) to it. (© Fresh Water  Pirates ). A time-dependent sinus function modifies and updates the mesh coordinates every 0.05 seconds. The vertex normals are calculated for every update. Lighting effects are computed on the GPU

A video of the flag animation can be found at:

MUSC HCC Retreat

My poster for MUSC HCC Retreat event

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, also called malignant hepatoma) is the most common type of  liver cancer. This Thursday afternoon, MUSC hosts a special event for selected HCC investigators which will present their clinical/translational research in both oral and poster format. I am proud to participate with my poster "Patient-specific models for radiofrequency ablation".
