Applet

  • Voronoi/Delaunay Applet: Create a Voronoi diagram or Delaunay triangulation by clicking points. Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulations are among the most widely used data structures in the field of Computational Geometry. Java source-code is available on the applet web page.




Research

My primary interest is the development and analysis of algorithms, particularly those that have practical applications. These practical applications have included placement, motion planning, shape comparison, computer vision, sensing, mesh generation, molecular matching, tools for analyzing/comparing protein shapes, and simulation of combustion. At Cornell, I have participated in research covering diverse application areas from computer vision to civil engineering to computational molecular biology.
