I am an Assistant Research Scientist at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences , New York University where I also earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science in May 2023 advised by Professor Daniele Panozzo . I am a member of the Geometric Computing Lab and work on research in computer graphics, physical simulation, and digital fabrication. The goal of my research is to design robust algorithms that reduce the amount of interactive user work, allowing the automatic simulation of a large number of challengin

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics from George Mason University in 2017. While there, I worked with Professor Yotam Gingold as an Undergraduate Research Assistant in the Creativity and Graphics Lab . Our work in texture mapping, 3D modeling, and numerical optimization culminated in the publication of "Seamless: Seam erasure and seam-aware decoupling of shape from mesh resolution" at SIGGRAPH Asia 2017.

I graduated from New York University with a Ph.D. in Computer Science. My thesis is titled "Provably Robust and Accurate Methods for Rigid and Deformable Simulation with Contact" and was advised by Daniele Panozzo. Thank you to all my wonderful collaborators, mentors, friends, and family for helping me along this journey!
