Primarily I study computational geometry and its applications
for scientific computing.
On occasion I also do research on education.
Lists of my
publications,
talks,
posters and
collaborators are linked to above.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or
would like to strike up a conversation.

Computational Geometry
Currently, I am investigating low degree predicates, numerical
instabilities of geometric algorithms, and generalizations of
Voronoi diagrams. Recently, I started working on some problems
in computational topology.

- Degree-driven Geometric Algorithm Design
- Parallel geometric algorithms
Parallel and Scientific computing
My interest in the numerical aspects of computational geometry
is driven by the application of geometric algorithms to physical
simulations. Since a few of my collaborators are physicists and
mathematicians I sometimes work on geometric projects that fall
into scientific and parallel computing.
- Projects:
- Parallel geometric algorithms
- Stochastic materials
- Monte Carlo algorithm for solving the neutron transport equation
Education In Music and Computational Sciences
One of the fundamental issues anyone must consider is, "How can
I convey what I am doing to someone else?" In
arts, math, or business, the ability to effectively convey
information is always important. While in high school I taught
drums to younger students. I found this enjoyable, but conveying
my knowledge to students was not an easy task. I try to
continue this interest by looking at ways to educate,
specifically in music and computational mathematics.
