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. I am particularly interested in methods for interacting with and controlling such simulations, with the goal of helping users build, design and create within the bounds of 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.

I am currently looking for postdoctoral research opportunities. If you think I would be a good fit for your industry or academic group, please send me an e-mail!
