Michael Holroyd, Ph.D. curricula vitae Office: Small Hall e-mail: meekohi@gmail.com AIM: meekohi Hey! This website is old. Goto meekohi.com instead.I received my Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in May 2011, based on work with my advisor Jason Lawrence on research topics related to general appearance capture. I also spent the summer of 2010 at Disney Research Zurich working with Wojciech Matusik on fabricating real objects from digital models. |

Teaching:
 |
Project Manager: Ad Gladium. Ad Gladium is a turn-based strategy game in which teams of futuristic gladiators battle for honor and glory. Warriors gain experience that can be used to train, and earn gold that can be used to buy equipment. This game is the work of students at the College of William and Mary, developed during the Spring of 2006 by Professor Coppit's Software Engineering class. |
 |
Teaching Assistant: Information Security (CS451, Fall 2006) . Topics include: operating system protection mechanisms, intrusion detection systems, formal models of security, cryptography, network and distributed system security, denial of service (and other) attack strategies, worms, viruses, transfer of funds/value across networks, electronic voting, secure applications, homeland cyber-security policy, and government regulation of information technology. |
 |
Teaching Assistant: Intro to Computer Science (CS101X, Spring 2007). Open to students with no prior programming experience. Integrated class and lab experience with the goal of introducing programming fundamentals and the principles behind modern software development. |
 |
Teaching Assistant: Program and Data Representation (CS216, Spring 2007). Introduction to program and data representation at the machine level. Data structuring techniques and the representation of data structures during program execution. Operations and control structures and their representation during program execution. Representations of numbers, arithmetic operations, arrays, records, recursion, hashing, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, and related concepts. |
