I am a PhD student at MIT in Architecture and Computer Graphics. My current research focuses on modeling mechanics of masonry structures. My co-advisors are John Ochsendorf, and Fredo Durand. I also collaborate with Barb Cutler at RPI.

I received my M.S. in Design & Computation from MIT in June 2006. My thesis research with Seth Teller focused on automatic interpretation of CAD drawings.

I received my B.A.Sc. in Engineering Science from the University of Toronto in June 2004. My senior thesis was on high dynamic range images, under the direction of Sabry El-Hakim and Demetri Terzopoulos.

From 2001-2004 I spent my summers as a research assistant at NRC-Canada in the Visual Information Technology group, working on image-based modeling. In the summer of 2005 I worked in Trento, Italy with NRC collaborators on a castle modeling project.

In my spare time I enjoy hiking and playing flute in the MIT Symphony Orchestra.
