Bio

I’m a PhD student in the Geometric Computing Lab in the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU, working on geometry processing for medical image simulations. I also offer math tutoring services, online and in-person in the New York City area (see here). I was previously a staff researcher and undergraduate assistant in the 3D Printing Functional Materials and Devices Lab at the University of Minnesota, where I worked on path planning algorithms for 3D bioprinting.
