John Alberse’s interest in art and technology brought him to the Texas A&M Visualization<\/a> program after he earned a computer science degree at the University of Oklahoma.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The native of Warwick, New York, is set to graduate Saturday with a Master of Science degree in Visualization. Alberse will also be honored as a distinguished student in the School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts<\/a>\u2019 Graduation Recognition Ceremony on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel honored to be selected amongst such a talented cohort,\u201d he said. \u201cI am thankful to my mentors and peers for their support.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his time in the program, Alberse created the technology and visual effects for “The Color of Connection,” a dance performance in the Igloo Studio. Alberse said he collaborated with Dance Science<\/a> faculty and students to create a performance that \u201cplayed with the intersection between physical and virtual space, including a reactive, immersive fluid simulation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI enjoy collaborating across disciplines,\u201d he said. \u201cHaving previously created an animated short film with a dancer in 2019, it was nice to have the opportunity to do so again. It was also satisfying to see a live audience respond well to our work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Jinsil Hwaryoung Seo<\/a>, associate professor in the Visualization program and director of the Institute for Applied Creativity<\/a>, worked with Alberse on several projects. Alberse said Seo provided him with opportunities to further his knowledge and has been a source of support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alberse is currently pursuing research and development positions in animation and games, particularly related to physical simulation and rendering systems. He said he is excited for the next chapter in his career and the future job opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would love to work in a position where I engage with the cutting edge of research to support artists in production environments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
