Bio

I'm a masters student at Stanford interested in all things art technology! My interest in math and physics as well as my passion in the arts (audio and visual) have led me to work in the field of computer graphics and acoustics, with projects ranging from high-fidelity physics simulations to audiovisual game-like art pieces. I also enjoy hanging out with my dogs, cooking, writing and performing music, etc!

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

Make a 3D Animation and/or Simulation with Houdini!

In this project you will learn the animation/simulation software Houdini. Throughout this project you will work on a few bite-sized animations specifically targeted to learn various aspects of animation. At the end you will make a larger scale animation of your choice that you would be able to put on your portfolio.
