Resume [pdf]

I'm currently an Applied Scientist at Amazon Fashion, developing scalable methods for fit-accurate clothing try-on.

I received my Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, advised by Rahul Narain. My dissertation involves constrained optimization with applications in physics-based animation and geometry processing.

I received my M.S. and B.S. in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota Duluth. At UMD I was advised by Pete Willemsen and my thesis was on efficient simulations of urban heat.
