Published approximately 200 research papers. Served on editorial boards and committees for multiple academic journals and conferences, including Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications (CGTA), International Journal of Computational Geometry and Applications (IJCGA), and more. Also participated in organizing many international conferences such as SOSA 2025, SoCG 2024, etc.
Research Experience
Conducts research in computational geometry, focusing on the design, analysis, and implementation of data structures and algorithms for geometric problems. Involved in several software projects such as ANN (library for approximate nearest neighbor searching), ALTS (Adaptive Algorithm for the LTS Linear Estimator), KMeans (efficient algorithms for k-means clustering), and ISODATA (efficient implementation of the ISODATA/ISOCLUS clustering algorithm).
