Hey, I'm Bridger! I recently finished my Ph.D. in the Interactive Visualization Lab at the University of Minnesota with Professor Daniel F. Keefe.
I'm currently on the job market seeking a research-oriented position in the extended reality field. Send me an email to get in touch!
My current work bridges the gap between physical and digital spaces using a combination of extended reality and digital fabrication technologies. Specifically, I build creative extended reality visualization solutions to make multivariate spatial or spatiotemporal data more graspable: both more comprehensible and more tactile.
Besides my research, I have a passion for teaching. In my graduate career, I've been an instructor and co-instructor for multiple classes, and have been a teaching assistant most other semesters. Now more than ever, it's important for individuals to be informed about the inner computational workings of the technologies our society depends on.
When I'm not in the lab or teaching, you can usually find me adventuring outside. I enjoy running, cycling, hiking, skiing, rock climbing, and many other outdoor activities. I have also volunteered for the Minnesota Brass drum corps as a board member, percussion instructor, and transportation coordinator.
