ACADEMIC HISTORY
Jarad received his BS in Bioengineering from the University of Pittsburgh in 2001 and he earned a MS in Bioengineering in 2003.
CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS
- Using a treadmill locomotion interface for the BNAVE virtual reality system. Also a system for interfacing the treadmill setup with the modified Unreal Tournament software that was developed for use in CAVE systems.
