Projects

Various CS stuff I've done.

• Spheres
  What happens when you add spheres?
• Balloons
  Make balloons. Fly away.
• Stained Glass
  Differentiably rendering triangle soups to learn radiance fields for my 6.869 final project.
• Surface Reconstruction
  Solving the Poisson Surface Reconstruction problem with an FMM-like approach for my 6.335 final project.
• Pencil Sketching
  6.838 final project done with Eric Zhang. Real-time pencil rendering with triangle meshes and with signed distance fields.
• Competitive Programming
  Competitive programming done throughout high school. Also wrote several (57!) problems for online contests. Here are some of my favourites:
  • DMOPC '18 Contest 4 P6 - Dr. Henri and Resistor Chains
  • DMOPC '18 Contest 3 P5 - Bob and Physics Class
  • DMOPC '18 Contest 1 P6 - Sorting (all of the problems on this contest were called Sorting)
  • DMOPC '18 Contest 1 P4 - Sorting (all of the problems on this contest were called Sorting)
  • World Domination Fun
  • DMOPC '17 Contest 2 P5 - Game
  • GCC '16 P3 - Hang Gliding Fun (one of the first problems I wrote!)
