I am a fifth-year PhD student at Boston University studying computer graphics and geometry processing. My research concerns the development of robust inside-outside defintions for imperfect geometry within various user modeling contexts. I am advised by Edward Chien. During Summer 2026, I worked as a Research Intern at Adobe under Qingnan (James) Zhou and Jérémie Dumas on interior facet removal for CAD models. Contact InformationE-mail: dscriv (at) bu (dot) edu |

Other Stuff
- I am a former fellow of MIT's Summer Geometry Initiative, which helped me a great deal as I was first entering the field (see the projects I worked on here). I later served as a volunteer in 2023 and 2024.
- My favorite pasta shape is radiatori. As far as I'm aware, it is the only pasta that can be cooked by the non-glutinous object it imitates (not that I'd recommend it!)
