I am a University Research Associate at the department of Computing Science, Simon Fraser University. Previously, I was an NSERC postdoctoral fellow at GrUVi lab working with Prof. Zhang. GrUVi is the second best vision and graphics lab in Canada and is within 15 best labs in the world.

I received my PhD from the Univertsity of Calgary where I have been also a sessional instructor and a postdoctoral fellow at the department of computer science working with Prof. Samavati.

My main research interest is Computer Graphics with specialty in Geometric Modeling, Digital Fabrication, and Machine Learning (Google Scholar). I have received several awards including NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship, Graduate Achievement Award, Michael A. J. Sweeney Award, and Teaching Excellence Award.
