About

I am a Ph.D. candidate of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, under the supervision of Eftychios Sifakis. I completed my B.Sc in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2015. 
My current research is on deformable object simulation, virtual surgery simulation and efficient implimentation of numerical solvers for such systems on SIMD-enabled hardware and cuda enabled GPU's.

Optimized Processing of Localized Collisions in Projective Dynamics  

We present a method for the efficient processing of contact and collision in volumetric elastic models simulated using the Projective Dynamics paradigm. Our approach enables interactive sim…

Learning active quasistatic physics-based models from data

Humans and animals can control their bodies to generate a wide range of motions via low-dimensional action signals representing high-level goals. As such, human bodies and faces …

A Computer Based Facial Flaps Simulator Using Projective Dynamics

Background and Objectives: Interactive surgical simulation using the finite element method to model human skin mechanics has been an elusive goal. Mass-spring networks, while fast, do not provide the required accuracy … 

Long-Term Results of the Murawski Unilateral Cleft Lip Repair.

Background: In 1968, Ralph Millard published his “Millard II” method for repair of wide, complete unilateral cleft lip and nose deformity. In 1979, Murawski published a major modification …
