Research

My research experience first started in Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (TCS). I worked on approximation algorithm at my first sophomore semester and computational geometry at my sophomore summer. As I continue to study more advanced Geometry and Topology courses, I became interested in the applications of Geometry in Computer Science. This sparked my interest in Computer Graphics and Rendering Algorithms.
