This record appears to blend two distinct bodies of work: one on computer animation and computer graphics techniques for modeling and animating human figures, objects, and physical phenomena like fluids, and another on policing practices, including use of force and community policing issues in Canada and the United States. The animation material appears to stem from a textbook covering foundational topics such as math for animation, interpolation, facial animation, and physics-based movement.

Publication output was sparse and irregular for most of the last decade, with a large concentrated burst of activity in 2025 tied to a multi-chapter animation textbook.
