Research

Research Interests:

    Computational geometry and topology; scientific and medical visualization; computer graphics.

    Broadly speaking, I am interested in almost anything that combines geometry, computers and a visual element. This includes computer graphics, computational geometry, scientific and medical visualization, and graph theory.
