Computer Science
Eitan Grinspun designs computer graphics algorithms that address a broad range of geometric and physical problems, such as predicting the motion and deformation of materials, processing of 3D geometric data, and interactive tools for engineering design. He is particularly interested in applying geometric insights in computation, and in discrete differential geometry as a language for discovering and codifying such insights.
