Tom Peterka graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in 2007 with a Ph.D. in computer science engineering. As a student, he researched the use of virtual environments for scientific visualization at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) at UIC. In his Ph.D. dissertation, Peterka invented a new method of producing autostereoscopic display systems (3D without glasses) by introducing a programmable, active parallax barrier that offers greater flexibility than previous methods. He joined ANL in mid-2007 as a postdoctoral appointee in the Radix Laboratory for Scalable Parallel Systems Software, in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division, where he is currently researching the efficacy of performing visualization on leadership-class architectures such as the IBM Blue Gene/P. He enjoys scaling graphics algorithms up to the maximum number of available processors and viewing the results in real-time.
