I am a Ph.D. stduent in the Department of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
under the advisory of Prof. Dinesh Manocha. I am a member of the GAMMA research group, UNC. I received my B.S. and M.S.
in College of Compute Science from Zhejiang University, 2000 and 2003, respectively.  [cv]


Research Interests
I am interested in various geometric computation problems, and their applications in robot motion planning, computer graphics, modeling and simulation.
