I am a postdoctoral researcher at Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), where I'm interested in geometry processing, geometric optimization, and inverse design. At ISTA, I am a member of Visual Computing and the Geometric Computing and Digital Fabrication group.

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. In these explanations, I also aim to describe all the approaches that *didn't* work (see, for example, our supplementary document Perspectives on Winding Numbers about winding numbers and solid angle, or Section 4.4 of Points as Tori.)

In 2025, I was named an EECS Rising Star. Before that, I was honored to be named a 2024 WiGRAPH Rising Star! You can read about the work of more graphics researchers here.

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.

I used to be rather serious about distance running, but had a lot of injuries. I still enjoy the sport as a whole and enjoy a running community wherever I find one. During my PhD, I was a proud organizer of the Random Distance Run. If you live in Pittsburgh, I would recommend the Pittsburgh Pharaoh Hounds running club to runners of any level looking to improve (but there is no shortage of other running clubs around Pittsburgh!) I used to be the women's captain for the Carnegie Mellon Club XC team, which competes in cross country and track & field at the NIRCA level (consider getting involved if you're at CMU!)

Previously, I was a PhD student in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), and worked in computer graphics and geometry processing. At CMU, I was a member of the Geometry Collective. Before that, 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.
