Bio Sketch

I am a University of California President's Postdoctoral Fellow in the Computer Science Department at UC Davis collaborating with Professor Nina Amenta and Yale Professor Holly Rushmeier. I am also a researcher at the CITRIS Banatao Institute at UC Berkeley. I obtained my PhD in computer science at Princeton University. I have a Master of Science degree in Computer Graphics from the Cornell University Program of Computer Graphics, and a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University. Before joining the Princeton Computer Graphics Group, I spent several years working in industry. As a Software Engineer on the 3D Graphics Team at Autodesk Inc., I was responsible for implementing platform enhancements to the 3D graphics system of AutoCAD. While at Autodesk, I lead a pilot project between Autodesk and two international architecture firms, HOK and Gensler. I worked with executives within the architecture firms and Autodesk to encourage the adoption of new technologies and to improve software solutions for design industries.
