About
I am a computer scientist and software engineer specializing in computer graphics, geometry processing, and physics simulation. I work as a software engineering manager at Lam Research, developing 3D modeling software for virtual fabrication of semiconductors. I did a PhD in computer science at Bielefeld University, doing research on shape deformation methods for evolutionary design optimization. In my spare time, I develop an open-source library for polygon mesh processing.
