I am an artist and researcher pursuing a PhD at MIT CSAIL, advised by Erik Demaine. I study geometrical problems arising in art, design, and fabrication. My research has been generously supported by the MIT Stata Family Presidential Fellowship and the NSERC PGS D. I earned my B.Sc. from UBC, during which I was fortunate to work with wonderful mentors Will Evans, Craig Kaplan, Nick Harvey, and Alla Sheffer across several research areas. |

My research spans areas such as theoretical computer science, computer graphics, human-computer interaction, robotics, and mathematical art, with a unifying theme of geometry. While I occasionally author papers, I am also excited about exploring alternative outcomes of research, including art installations, creativity-support tools, and educational materials.

I am incredibly blessed to have wonderful parents and the best of siblings: Esther, Josh, and Sam. I also feel fortunate for my friends both within and beyond the Theory Group, and for my many remarkable collaborators and mentors. |
