Most of this information is old. Please visit my new web page at Virginia Tech.
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech.From 2001 to 2003, I was a Senior Research Associate in the Bioinformatics Program at Boston University, where I worked with Simon Kasif.
Before joining Boston University, I worked at Compaq's Cambridge Research Lab.
Till July 1999, I was a post-doc in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University. I worked with Leo Guibas and Jean-Claude Latombe on problems arising in computational geometry, computer graphics, and robotics. In particular, I worked on the Tactical Mobile Robots project.
Before I came to Stanford, I was a Ph.D. student at the Department of Computer Science at Brown University. For July 1993 to August 1998, I was a visiting scholar at the Department of Computer Science at Duke University, where my advisor Jeff Vitter is the Chairman. I was a member of the Center for Geometric Computing at Duke.
Before I started my graduate studies at Brown in 1991, I spent four years at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM) getting a Bachelor of Technology degree in Computer Science and Engineering. My last two years in high school were spent at the pride of Luz Circle, Vidya Mandir, Madras.
Research
In my research, I focus on problems in computational geometry, especially those motivated by applications in computer graphics, robotics, and geographic information systems. In my Ph.D. thesis, I studied the problem of hidden-surface removal.
- At Stanford, I am involved in a project on Tactical Mobile Robots.
- Here is a list of my publications, all of which you can download.
- Here is my resume.
- If you want to know more about computational geometry, Jeff Erickson and David Eppstein maintain excellent pages.
- If you would like to know more about theoretical computer science, the pages to look at are the ACM SIGACT home page and Suresh Venkatasubramanian's page.
