I was a PhD student at the Media Research Laboratory and Vision, Learning and Graphics Group in Computer Science Department of New York University. I am now working at Google New York.

I have worked in non-photorealistic graphics, physics-based models for simulation, and, most recently, user interfaces and perception. My supervisors for my PhD were professors Denis Zorin at NYU and Andy Nealen at Rutgers University. I was lucky to spend several research internships at Adobe's Advanced Technology Labs in Seattle.

Research

My current research is on designing better user interfaces to home photo collections and related problems.

In the past I have worked in physics-based models for graphics and non-photorealistic rendering:

• Fracture and plasticity for thin shell models on triangle meshes
• Fitting curves to clouds of data with applications to NPR
• Real-time hatching of 3D models
• Stippling with Voronoi-based models and earlier course work
• Sound generation by water droplets

Please see the above project pages or my publications page for more details.
