Himanshu Gohel

Received a Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, at the University of South Florida, in Tampa. My dissertation is entitled "Warp: A Method for Interactive Free-form Shape Design." I developed a tool called aNt to demonstrate the research techniques. Currently working at CAiCE Software Corporation, a division of Autodesk, Inc. in Brandon, FL.

Besides Geometric Modeling for CAD/CAM, I am interested in Computer Graphics in general, Image Processing, Volume Visualization, Human-Computer Interaction, and Graphical User Interfaces. My minor is in Software Engineering.

Are you writing your thesis/dissertation using LaTeX 2e? John C. Sperandio wrote a MS thesis class file which conforms to USF's Thesis and Dissertation Handbook 1996-97. I've extended it to include a dissertation option, and you can retreive the necessary files. PLEASE! If you modify the class file for your own use, DO NOT pass it on to others! Graduate school will often make exceptions for your manuscript which will most likely not be valid for the next person! If you think the change is justified according to the PRINTED GUIDELINES, then only please notify us, and we will incorporate the changes and make it available to everyone else.

No doubt if you have written your thesis or dissertation, you know what a time-consuming task it is. As I write my dissertation I jot down points that I think would be useful to anyone still writing their manuscript or any other paper. Tips including how to prepare material for the write-up, what information to document during your research, and how to make sure that your LaTeX document can be made PDF friendly so your dissertation can be published on-line through USF's new ETD program.

While at school I was an assistant system-administrator of a network consisting of Sun servers and workstations, a few PCs and X-terminals. Along with a colleague, I was developing software for Radiologists to view digitized mammograms on the computer instead of X-ray films. Besides that, I provided technical and programming support to the Digital Medical Imaging Group (DMIP) in the Dept. of Radiology at the Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute. In my spare time I administer the machines in the graphics lab. I have worked with Sun, SGI and PC systems, and am available for consulting.

During Spring 1996 I taught "Introduction to UNIX and C", a graduate level course for non-CS majors, in the Computer Science and Engineering Department as partial fulfillment of my doctoral degree. If you are accessing these pages from a host on the USF.EDU network only, you can look at the course notes for CIS 6930 (Spring 96). To aid in collecting and compiling assignments submitted by email, I wrote a simple script to process submissions. If you would like a copy, send me email.

This was the joint newsletter of the student chapters of ACM and IEEE-CS at USF. twisted threads was awarded the Florida Society for Technical Communication's Award of Excellence for 1993-94.

Yoga is my stress-busting/relaxing method of choice. Recently I was introduced to surfing and body boarding, and I've really taken to bodyboarding. While at USF, you would have found me playing racquetball, or blowing my horn in some remote corner of campus (my neighbors couldn't stand it any more!). Shooting pool is one of my regular weekend activities. I like travelling to various parts of the world! I'm also an avid (though Type I) skiier. I'm constantly fixing stuff - mostly my car or my Amiga/SGI computers
