Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

- Developed a novel algorithm for post-processing of an A* search path to find the Euclidean shortest path in the homotopy class. It builds a local visibility graph around the given path by utilizing multi-threading to speed up visibility graph construction- Benchmarking against any-angle path planning algorithms and post-processing techniques to compare optimality and runtime
