Courses

This semester (Fall 2009), I will be teaching:

Research

My research is in computational geometry -- algorithms and applications for geometric problems. A particular focus is in the area of rigidity theory, with motivating problems coming from biology and CAD (computer aided design). I continue to be affiliated with the LinKage group at UMass led by Ileana Streinu. Current and past projects include
  • pebble games for sparse graphs
  • motion/sampling conformations of molecule-like structures
  • single-vertex origami
