Hello!

I just received a PhD from UWaterloo School of Computer Science. I was advised by two amazing researchers, Craig S. Kaplan and Paul Asente. My interests are in computer graphics, real-time rendering, non-photorealistic rendering, physical simulations, and graphic design. My PhD research was about developing physical simulations that can tightly pack deformable objects inside a container. We published award-winning papers and I was fortunate to receive Cheriton Scholarship.
