I write most of my coding projects in C++ and/or Python. Here are some recent ones.

R3D

R3D (Rendara3D) is graphics/physics engine that I am writing for learning purposes. It is written in C++ and OpenGL.

Features include

• Instanced rendering, Shadows, Bloom, HDR
• Rigid-body physics for 3D boxes: discrete collision detection and response (using sequential impulses)
• Entity-Component-System (ECS) based on archetypes for looping selected entities in a cache-friendly way
• dear ImGui interface for editing shaders at run-time, changing settings and debugging

You can visit the github page of the project here.

         

Cells

Cells is a C++/Python software for simulating the collective motion of biological cells crawling on a 2D substrate.

The code has been designed to be flexible for testing out many different models. Features include

• Python C++ interface for easy scripting
• Integration of langevin equations of motion with custom forces.
• Cells can be composed of multiple disks (for now, maximum of 2).
• Contraction/Expansion cycle of cell body can be simulated.
• Binary format (HDF5) for saving files.

I have developed Cells in Japan, for this scientific study. The github page of the project can be found here.

I have been doing research in computational statistical mechanics, which is a branch of physics dealing with the simulations of many interacting bodies using Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics techniques.

Physical systems that I have researched during my Ph.D. include fluids of hard spheres and active matter.

Journal covers

I created the cover artwork for four issues of the journal Soft Matter. I used Blender for rendering.
