Employment
Experience
- 2HDM explorer (Development)http://kkanishc.web.cern.ch/kkanishc/2HDM/home.shtml
Getting an intuition about multivariate data is a common problem in vast majority of applications. This project is a presentation of results of complex calculations for a particle physics experiment. Given a set of parameters of a certain model one wants to see what kind of phenomena are expected and which regions of parameters are responsible for which outcomes.
- MPM Flexible Body Simulation (Other amazing things)http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/629/why-does-one-experience-a-short-pull-in-the-wrong-direction-when-a-vehicle-stops/6107#6107
Using only academic papers, I've implemented from scratch the Material Point Method simulation of a deformable body in C++. Includes QT + OpenGL GUI.
- LLVM Kaleidoscope tutorial in Boost::Spirit (Development)https://github.com/KKostya/SpiritKaleidoscope
The LLVM compiler tutorial uses a simple hand-written lexer and parser, implemented either in C++ or OCaml. The project is an attempt to use Boost::Spirit library as a parser for that tutorial.
- Realtime Joukowski map in JavaScript. (Other amazing things)http://bl.ocks.org/KKostya/6066548
Conformal mappings is a powerful mathematical physics technique for solving 2D boundary problems. I always loved the way the result look. So I've implemented it using JavaScript with the help of the d3.js library.
