Course project for CPSC 520 - Numerical Solution of Differential Equations, taught by Chen Greif
An investigation into the use of ADI (Alternating Direction Implicit) techniques for cloth simulation. Specifically, I work with a mass-spring model, but draw some relationships with PDE formulations and perform some stability analysis.

Course project for CPSC 515 - Computational Robotics, taught by Dinesh Pai
I worked on this one with Eric Brochu.
We implemented a PRM planner for ACME (UBC Active Measurement Facility), a 15 degree-of-freedom robotic system, in JAVA.
Information on this technique, developed by Kavraki et. al., can be found here.
A port project I worked on as a Research Assistant in the LCI lab, under the supervision of John Lloyd.
This is a Java implementation of V-clip, a robust algorithm for computing distances and checking for collisions between convex polyhedra and collections of convex polyhedra.

Course project for PHYS 410 - Computational Physics, taught by Matt Choptuik
A variant on the classic 2D Lunar Lander game, including:
- rotational inertia - with four additional side control thrusters
- collision detection and response - try to land, "ski around", and take off again.
Blobs
A game I'm working on.
