Professional Activities

 

Research

I belong to the Theoretical Computer Science Group.  My major research areas include computational geometry, algorithms, and data structures.  I am currently interested in algorithmic problems in geometric modeling.  Recently, I spend most of my time on problems in mesh generation and manifold reconstruction.  Mesh generation is an important task in numerical simulations in scientific and engineering applications.  In manifold reconstruction, I study curve and surface reconstruction from noisy samples, as well as manifold reconstruction in arbitrary dimensions.
