Publications

I spent an early decade of my life working in research. I had full-time research positions at Georgia Tech, EPFL, and IBM Research, and I had summer internships at HP Labs and Disney Imagineering. A full list of the publications from those times are in my CV and my BibTeX file.

Here are the papers I wrote or cowrote.
