I’m a Computer Science PhD student at UT Austin, advised by Etienne Vouga. Most recently I have been exploring the wild world of geometry processing, designing algorithms to study questions in computer graphics and computational fabrication.
Prior to graduate school I designed and fabricated a circuit board which turned a widely avaliable lighting element into a touch sensor. Much of my time early in graduate school has been spent studying questions in computational fabrication, including problems like, "How might one weave a bunny out of straight ribbons?".
Much of my subsequent work has involved applying tools from algebraic geometry to the problem of volumetric parameterization.
I am currently on the job market
