Bio

I am an Assistant Professor at MIT, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. My research focuses on computer graphics, computational fabrication, 3D geometry processing and machine learning, including architectural geometry and design of smart materials. I was a Schmidt Science Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT CSAIL working in the Computational Fabrication Group mentored by Prof. Dr. Wojciech Matusik. I completed my PhD in Computer Science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), advised by Prof. Dr. Mark Pauly. Parts of my PhD research were supported by the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Digital Fabrication (dfab). I received my MS and BS both from the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Mathematics.
