Research
Geometric Computing and ApplicationsBroadly speaking, geometric computing is concerned with the design of efficient computational techniques for representing, reasoning with, and manipulating geometric entities. My research here encompasses algorithm and data structure design and analysis, software development, and deployment of solutions into applications. Application areas of current interest include computer-aided design and manufacture, structural biology, biomedical engineering, information retrieval, and data mining. To get a flavor for this, you can check out some of my recent work on layered manufacturing here.
Feel free to email me (lastname@cs.umn.edu) if you would like more information or copies of my other papers, or are interested in collaborating on research.
Teaching
During the 2007-08 academic year, I will be teaching a graduate course on Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures (CSci 5421), in the Fall, and an undergraduate course on Discrete Structures (CSci 2011), in the Spring. Stay tuned...Students
