I'm Valentin Nigolian, a computer reaserch scientist specializing in digital geometry and numerical optimization. I design innovative algorithms and robust software in modern C++, with experience across graphics, geometry processing, and interactive systems. I have published at SIGGRAPH and SIGGRAPH Asia, led cross-platform gait-analysis SDK development at GaitUp, and created VR interfaces for medical doctors in Tokyo. I enjoy collaborating across disciplines to turn complex mathematics into practical tools for researchers, clinicians, and designers.…I'm Valentin Nigolian, a computer reaserch scientist specializing in digital geometry and numerical optimization.
