Hello, I'm Lewis Ghrist!
I'm a senior at the University of Pennsylvania studying Computer Graphics and Math for my undergraduate degree and also working on a master's in Computer Graphics and Game Technology. My focus is in the intersection of geometry and graphics, where mathematical structure becomes a tool for visual and computational design. I'm interested in geometric methods in graphics, geometry processing, differential geometry, topology, and procedural systems. In my spare time, I enjoy creating art, playing and designing games, playing the piano and organ, and yoyoing
