Additional Information

I am interested in the integration of haptics with physical simulation, with particular attention to the design of the associated numerical computation. For example, my Ph.D. project focussed primarily on the design of optimal numerical algorithms for efficient real time simulation of contact with 3D linear elastostatic models.
