I am a researcher in geometry processing and physics-based simulation. My research develops robust and efficient methods with complex objects using closest point queries—allowing algorithms to work across a wide variety of geometric representations without meshing. For more details, check out my PhD thesis.

I completed my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, supervised by Christopher Batty and Steve Ruuth. Before that, I was a Research Scientist at Rutter, earned my MSc in Applied and Computational Mathematics from Simon Fraser University, and my BSc in Applied Mathematics and Physics from Memorial University. During my PhD, I interned twice at Meta Reality Labs Research. My work has been presented at SIGGRAPH and SIGGRAPH Asia and published in ACM TOG and JCP. I am currently a Research Scientist at Shapr3D.
