Personal Profile

I am a PhD student at the University of Waterloo, under the supervision of Dr. Christopher Batty. My research focuses on physics-based animation of liquids and computational geometry. I am also a part-time software developer with SideFX Software, working on simulations for their Houdini software package (watch my Masterclass here!).
