Senior🎓
Top SchoolSurat Teerapittayanon is a research-focused software engineer and PhD candidate in computer science at Harvard with 14 years of experience building interactive systems, 3D simulations, and network-coding protocols for next-generation wireless networks. He combines low-level C++ and OpenGL/OpenGL ES expertise with higher-level creative tool development (OpenFrameworks, OpenCV, ActionScript), having shipped novel interfaces such as hand-gesture apps for G-Speak and a collapsible-input CAD tool called Beyond. His work spans cyber-physical testbeds, real-time fluid simulators, Android graphics optimization, and a rapid-prototyping tool for 3D DNA-origami (caDNAno), showing a rare mix of systems, graphics, and bio-nanotech tooling. At MIT and Harvard he has bridged research and teaching, including mentoring introductory Python while contributing to industry internships at Intel. Known for turning complex spatial and physical problems into usable interactive software, he thrives on projects that blend tangible hardware constraints with elegant software design.
