I am a Post-Doctoral Researcher at Disney Research in Zurich, working in the Computational Design and Manufacturing group led by Moritz Bächer. Before this, I was a joint PhD student at Disney Research, and the Computer Graphics Lab at ETH Zurich, advised by Prof. Markus Gross.
My research interests lie in the areas of computational design tools, fabrication, and physically-based simulation and optimization.
