A
Review of Polygon Morphing Techniques
Algorithms Research Seminar presented at McGill University, Montreal.
- Investigated algorithms for polygon morphing, a key technique
of computer animation, where the aim is to smoothly and continuously
transform one polygon into another in a way that appears graceful
to the eye.

basic questions of simulation and prediction in physics to theoretical
computer science.
|
| 1997 |
The Transition from Discreet to Continuous
States in the Game of Life
Concurrent Programming Languages Project at McGill
University, Montreal.
