Geometric Computing Laboratory
Mathematical reasoning, geometric abstractions, and powerful numerical methods are key ingredients in our work. We pursue a holistic approach in that we design and fabricate functional physical prototypes, collaborate with artists and designers, and engage in industry collaborations to validate and inspire our research.
