About

An applied geometer by profession and a philocalist by personal nature, Jinesh works in the fields of solid modeling and applied robotics. Both the fields involve geometric algorithms with applications that require a high degree of numerical precision. In the past, he has worked on problems such as swept-volume computation, CNC-machining verification, roots of Bernstein polynomials, and the like. His other interests include outdoors.
