Deniz Sarioz           I did my pre-life in Istanbul, including but not limited to seven years of schooling at the beautiful Robert College, which was to become my alma mater in 1997. In May 2002, I received a B.S. degree from the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science of Columbia University in Computer Science (CS) and a B.A. degree from Middlebury College in Mathematics, in that order, even though I left Middlebury in 2000. Since September 2003, I have been attending the Ph. D. Program in Computer Science at the CUNY Graduate Center (a.k.a. GSUC, GC) as a full-time matriculant. I have taught at the Brooklyn College (BC) Computer and Information Systems department and currently teach at the Hunter College (HC) Computer Science department.

As of the summer of 2007, I have been working strictly under the supervision of Distinguished Professor Janos Pach (GC, CCNY, NYU, etc). My main research interest is combinatorics, especially combinatorial geometry, which involves knowing a bit about computer science in general, and even a bit about continuous mathematics. To me it also seems related to topics such as graph theory, graph algorithms, analysis of algorithms, approximation algorithms, and even topological image processing, all of which I have been interested in and sometimes did research in at some point or another. This work tends to find motivation in areas such as sensor networks and cellular networks.

During the academic year 2006-2007, I was involved in fundamentals research on the topic of arrangements in sensor networks with Ted Brown (GC) and Amotz Bar-Noy (GC, BC).

Until summer 2006, I was the graduate research assistant on a project co-advised by Distinguished Professor Gabor T. Herman (GC) and Professor T. Yung Kong (Queens College, GC). The project's aim was to develop efficient ways to obtain topological and geometric descriptors of 3D reconstructions obtained from transmission electron microscopy projections. I passed the (first portion of the) second exam of the CS Ph.D. program in this area. This work was in part supported by a CUNY Collaborative Incentive grant awarded to Profs. Herman and Kong, and in part by Prof. Herman's National Institutes of Health grant in electron microscopy.

As a member of the Discrete Imaging and Graphics group, I have also had the pleasure of maintaining the Snark05 Utilities for a couple of years.
