Hello! I’m a third year PhD student in Computer Graphics at the University of Toronto, supervised by Prof. Eitan Grinspun. I work in all sorts of physical simulations, from rigid body mechanics to fluid dynamics. In particular, I research methods for interacting with such simulations, with the goal of helping users build and design within the bounds of complex physical constraints for applications in animation, robotics and engineering.

I received my Master’s degree at the University of Toronto, where I was co-supervised by Profs Eitan Grinspun and Alec Jacobson. Before that I received my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering at McGill University, where I worked with Profs. Brett Meyer, Derek Nowrouzezahrai and Paul Kry.
