Voronoi Tessellation
I have been using Voronoi tessellations (VTs) as parts of my dissertation and research. VTs have so many applications that I think it's worth of having a page where I can share interesting links and information about VTs. Beside the applications, I also encourage undergraduates at Trinity to explore the theory and algorithms behind VT concepts. So I hope this page will be useful for students and those who are interested to further explore VTs.

The above pictures are parts of the results of the student project in my Numerical Analysis class.
