Nicole Feng
I am a fifth-year PhD student in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), where I work in computer graphics and geometry processing. I am a member of the Geometry Collective and advised by Keenan Crane.
I am looking for industry internship opportunities for summer 2025!
If you're interested in learning about my research, I'd recommend starting with the "project pages", which contain blog-style explanations of my published works.

I used to be rather serious about distance running, but had 8+ injuries between 2015 – 2020. I started training again in late 2021 (minus COVID in 2022) and really enjoy the running community in Pittsburgh. I'm a proud organizer of the Random Distance Run at CMU. On Tuesdays, you can usually find me running with the Pittsburgh Pharaoh Hounds. I also am the women's captain for the Carnegie Mellon Club XC team, which competes in cross country and track & field at the NIRCA level.
I like to write crossword puzzles, especially Schrödinger (quantum) puzzles. I occasionally post smaller puzzles on my Crosshare blog.
I occasionally make art for the department; past designs here.
Previously, I graduated from Caltech with a B.S. in Applied & Computational Mathematics. The background to my website is taken from a photograph I took from the foothills of the San Gabriel mountains in Pasadena, California.
