Ciarán Llachlan Leavitt is currently finishing her senior year in Computer Science and Math at the University of British Columbia, where she is advised by Dr. Alla Sheffer. Her primary affiliation is with the IMAGER Computer Graphics Lab. Past diversions have included writing novels and a stint in the Canadian army. At the moment, she is the Imager Logistics Coordinator, and acts as the lab's de facto Editor-In-Chief.
Biography
Research Interests
My area of focus is in computer graphics, with some overlap in graph drawing, topology and geometry processing. At the moment I hold an NSERC UGSRA Fellowship and am doing research in digital geometry processing. Some of the cool people I get to work with include: James Slack, Dr. Steve Wolfman, Dr. Paul Carter, Trent (Matthew) Trentacoste, Dr. Tamara Munzner, Abhijeet Ghosh, Vlady Kraevoy, Dr. Wolfgang Heidrich and, Dr. Jim Little. Some equally cool people whom I don't get to work with include: Dr. Rachel Pottinger, Ken Rose (but only because he managed to Get Out Alive), Dr. Robert Bridson, and Dr. Andy Hanson (though I have my fingers crossed).
