Katherine J. Lai

I was an M.Eng. student at MIT working on problems in theoretical computer science and graduated in June and am now at Cornell pursuing a PhD in Computer Science. My research interests include but are not limited to data structures, graph algorithms, computational geometry, and other cool algorithms in general. My advisor was Prof. Erik Demaine.

Pictures from my grad school visits:

I TA-ed for 6.854J/18.415J: Advanced Algorithms Fall 2007 and for 6.046: Design and Analysis of Algorithms Spring 2008.

6.046 Handouts. To the 6.046 students: while I hope you find them useful in studying for the exam, note that not all topics in the handouts will be covered on the quiz. Not covered but there for your personal enrichment: edge classification, topological sort, and Hall's Theorem.

My CV/resume can be found here.
