As an example for the type of research I do, here is the youtube video of the Godfried Toussaint Memorial Lecture I recently gave at the 32nd CCCG in summer 2020.

I primarily work in the fields of Computational geometry, applied topology, as well as topological and geometric data analysis (TGDA). My work lies at the intersection of computer science (especially algorithms) and applied mathematics (especially applied topology, discrete and combinatorial geometry). I am particularly interested in developing effective and theoretically justified algorithms for data / shape analysis using geometric and topological ideas and methods, as well as to integrate such methods with machine learning frameworks. I aim to both provide theoretical understanding of various computational methods developed, and to apply them to practical domains, including computational biology, computational neuroanatomy, material science, computer graphics and visualization.

An important recent theme behind my work is to combine and integrate topological/geometric ideas with machine learning framework so as to develop new data analysis methods.

My research has been supported by NSF, NIH and DOE.

I am looking for motivated graduate students with interests in geometric/topological algorithms and data analysis, as well as strong background in algorithms, theory, and/or mathematics. I am happy to work with exceptional undergraduate students on data analysis projects. Students should have strong interests in algorithms design and data analysis applications.
