Personal Information

I am a third-year Ph.D. student majoring in Computer and Information Science at University of Pennsylvania. I am advised by Prof. Chenfanfu Jiang. I graduated from Tsinghua University in July 2018. My primary research interest is physically based simulation. Currently, I have been working on utilizing material point method to simulate different phenomena and developing novel technology to accelerate existing simulation framework.

Projects

Taichi

  • An Open source computer graphics library in C++ and python.
  • I participated in the development of Taichi with MPM, time-variant level sets, and a WebGL-based visualization system (which allows checking results remotely).
  • I'm collaborating with the project creator (Yuanming Hu).

NaivePT

  • Individual project, based on C++
  • Final project for the course, Fundamentals of Computer Graphics
  • Offline renderer based on path tracing and probabilistic progressive photon mapping, which implements caustics, volumetric scattering, etc.

Phantouch VR

  • Team project, based on OpenGL
  • Built for A round financing for a start-up company (Phantouch)
  • A graphics system for real-time virtual reality applications, built from scratch
  • I am responsible for shadow maps and the whole real-time post-processing pipeline, including lens distortion, bloom FX, light-shafts, etc.
