I am a lecturer (assistant professor) at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.

 

I was a postdoc researcher at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, working with Prof. Denis Zorin.

I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science (2013) from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, under the supervision of Prof. Craig Gotsman.

I earned my M.Sc. in Computer Science (2007) from the Tel-Aviv University, Israel, under the supervision of Prof. David Levin.

I earned my B.A. in Computer Science (2004) from Tel-Aviv-Yaffo Academic College, Israel.


Research Interests

 

My main research interest is geometry processing.

Problems in the field include: low distortion mappings with applications of shape deformation and surface parametrization; shape interpolation; shape registration; and surface reconstruction. Algorithms and tools developed to address these problems are useful for shape modeling and animation.
