Tim McGraw works in computer graphics and visualization, with a focus on real-time simulation of deformable and destructible objects (such as soft-body fracture and cloth or fluid animation), medical and anatomical visualization, and techniques for rendering complex data like tensor fields and 3D shapes. Much of the recent work explores how these graphics methods can support education and interactive exploration, for example letting users virtually dissect or manipulate anatomical models. Prospective students would likely engage with topics spanning real-time physics simulation, scientific/medical visualization, and interactive computer graphics.
