Biography

Hi! I'm Zhean Robby L. Ganituen, also known as zrygan.

I'm a second-year Computer Science student at De La Salle University, Manila.

I split my time between Metro Manila and the Detroit Metro Area, depending on the university calendar.

I'm deeply interested in algorithms and data structures. Lately, I've been exploring cryptography, numerical algorithms, and geometry.

In general, I enjoy discussing and researching topics in Theoretical Computer Science, especially when they intersect with real-world applications or other fields.

Programming

I regularly work with C, C++, Go, Rust, and Java.

Occasionally, I also use Python and Kotlin for specific projects.

You can check out my programming projects on my GitHub profile.

Some of my best projects include the Raytracer.

Currently, I am working on an unpublished C++ project as a supplement to a research study.

Competitive Programming

I have experience with competitive programming and have participated in contests, though I no longer compete actively.

For competitive programming resources, I maintain a GitHub repository. You can also find my profiles on Kattis and Codeforces.

I don’t do much programming these days, as I focus more on research.

I still maintain some personal projects, but they emphasize theory more than software development.

Research

Research Interests

I work primarily in theoretical computer science and natural language processing.

I'm especially interested in real-world puzzles that can be efficiently solved through creative applications of algorithms and data structures.

My current research focuses on numerical algorithms, geometry, regular languages, and automata theory.

Blog

I also write a blog called \( \forall i \in \textbf{KB} \), where I discuss topics in theoretical computer science in a casual, "unserious" tone.

Tutoring

I'm a tutor and currently serve as the Associate Vice President for Activities at my university's Peer Tutors' Society.

I primarily tutor theoretical subjects—Discrete Structures, Algorithms, Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, and Theory of Computation— as well as C and Java programming.

See my CV or the plaintext version.

Also see my ORCID and my Google Scholar.
