Math

Anna
Lubiw’s
primary
focus
is
algorithms
for
computational
geometry,
graph
drawing
and
other
graph
theoretic
problems.
Her
work has
included
a
study
of
shortest
paths
on
a
terrain
with
the
constraint
that
the
path
goes
downhill.
In
addition, Anna
has
worked
on
a
morphing
problem
of
transforming
one
drawing
of
a
graph
to
another
in
a
continuous
way.
In
addition
to
visualization
applications,
this
problem
has
application
in
medical
imaging
when
successive
two-dimensional
slices
(e.g.,
from
X-rays)
are
combined
to
form
a
three
dimensional
model.
Anna
is
also
interested
in
music
information
retrieval,
for
example,
looking
for
small
fragments
of
music
in
a
larger
musical
score.
Her
interest
in
music
goes
beyond
information
retrieval
–
Anna
is
one
of
the
founders
of
orchestra@uwaterloo,
an
extracurricular
musical
ensemble
for
students,
staff,
faculty
and
alumni
of
the
University
of
Waterloo.
