About Me
I've moved from Cornell. Here's my new web page.
I finished my Ph.D. in May 2017. I was privileged to be advised by Kavita Bala and Steve Marschner. I did research on rendering algorithms and appearance acquisition/modeling, specializing in problems related to fibrous materials such as human hair and cloth.
Before coming to Cornell, I lectured at Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Science, Kasetsart University. I finished my undergrad at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and also got a master's degree there.
I will join Google Japan as a software engineer in July 2017. As a result, I'm not going to be on the job market for a while.
In any case, My CV is available here: [PDF]

Miscellaneous
My Erdős number is at most 4. (Khungurn - Saranurak - Nanongkai - Tetali - Erdős)
I have studied Japanese for 6 years: 3 years in college and 3 more years here at Cornell. I can hold conversations, explain rather complicated concepts, and write essays. Here are examples of writings I submitted to my Japeanese classes:
As for formal qualifications, I took the JLPT N2 in December 2015 and passed.
