Update: I am now working as a Software Engineer at Google. I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of British Columbia, working with Alla Sheffer.

I received my Ph.D. in computer science and engineering with Matthias Zwicker (2009). My research interests are in computer graphics and computer vision, with a focus on geometry processing. I received my B.S. in mathematics (with a second major in music) from Harvey Mudd College, where I worked with Michael Orrison, Ran Libeskind-Hadas, and Weiqing Gu. During my undergraduate years, I also studied piano performance with Gayle Blankenburg.
