Developed WebVR demos for researchers at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) to manipulate and interact with the mathematical surfaces in the DLMF (Digital Library of Mathematical Formulae) repository. Awarded the 2018 Outstanding Poster Presentation award, work presented at the SIGGRAPH 2018 BOF session “Immersive Visualization for Research, Science and Art”.
