1 About me
In my free time, I actively work on Burst Triangulator, an efficient Unity Delaunay triangulation package with support for constraints and refinement.
Additionally, I develop PBD2D, a physics engine for two-dimensional soft-body simulations within the Unity Burst compiler.
I value minimalism and simplicity in both design and code, striving for efficient solutions.
My primary interests include:
- Simulation
- Game Physics
- Computer Graphics
2 Projects
BurstTriangulator
A single-file package which provides Delaunay triangulation of the given set of points with constraints and mesh refinement.
To view the documentation for the manual and scripting API access it online
here.
As an illustrative example, we present the triangulation of Lake Superior with various refinement parameters.
The top-left image shows the result without any refinement.

PBD2D
Unity package for Position Based Dynamics in two dimensions.
The package provides an implementation of position based dynamics (PBD) using HPC# (via Burst compiler) including
extended position based dynamics (xPBD),
shape-matching, and various collision algorithms with a basic friction model.
There are also upcoming features regarding one-dimensional structures (rods) and fluids with soft bodies coupling.

3.1 Education
During my academic career, my research was primarily focused on quantum mechanics in the context of solid-state physics, particularly Majorana zero modes, and quantum computing, specifically quantum annealing. I collaborated extensively with Professor M. Mierzejewski's group, Dr. B. Gardas's group, and Dr. A. Ptok's group. As a result, I successfully published several papers. Below, you can find a table summarizing my educational progress.
