I design geometry processing algorithms that exploit differential geometric structures in low dimensions. Discrete geometric structures provide both a path towards computation and a means of understanding operations that are important in computer graphics and visual effects. Yet many geometric structures have yet to be exploited in any practical application. I also enjoy working on mathematical problems in discrete differential geometry.

I am currently a research scientist at SideFX. I received my PhD in applied mathematics from Caltech working with Ulrich Pinkall and Peter Schröder. Before that, I received my MSc in mathematics and BSc in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University, working with Keenan Crane and Dejan Slepčev.
