I am a Ph.D. student at University of Pennsylvania advised by Prof. Chenfanfu Jiang. My research interests are applying computational optimization and numerical simulation to visual computing problems, especially in geometry processing and physics-based animation.
During my M.Sc., I worked with Prof. Alla Sheffer on garment modeling (FoldSketch), surface parameterization (OptCuts), mesh simplification, and shape deformation. I was also very lucky to work with Dr. Xinxin Zhang and Prof. Robert Bridson on fluids simulation, and to work as an intern at Adobe Research with Dr. Danny Kaufman, Dr. Vladimir (Vova) Kim, and Dr. Timothy Langlois.
