Abhishek Madan

I am a final-year PhD student at the University of Toronto, supervised by David Levin. I’m broadly interested in physical simulation and geometry processing, and I am particularly interested in scalable and high-performance systems for simulation and geometry. Previously, I completed my undergraduate degree in software engineering at the University of Waterloo and my Master’s degree at the University of Toronto.

My CV can be found here.
