Research Scientist
I’m a researcher focused on computer graphics and machine learning, passionate about solving problems with math and code.
Education
Shanghai Jiao Tong University - B.E. in Computer Science and Technology (Zhiyuan)
2016-2020
University of California San Diego - Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering
2021-2025 (quit)
Work Experience
Tencent - R&D
JUNE 2024 - SEPTEMBER 2024
I worked with the Lightspeed Studio and Last Sentinel team on real-time physics and mesh reduction UE5 plug-in.
■ Implemented XPBD in compute shader using Vulkan.
■ Implemented QEM and tried global vertices concentration flow and neural representation
miYoHo - Graphics Research Intern
MARCH 2021 - AUGUST 2021
I contributed in developing real-time live streaming of Vtuber Lumi within three months while exploring key frame trajectory control.
■ Worked with Technical Airtist to develop Projective Dynamics in Lumi simulation codebase
■ Implemented prototype key frame control pipeline in Taichi
■ Wrote SPH fluid simulation demo
Microsoft Research Asia - Research Intern
OCTOBER 2019 - JUNE 2020
I collaborated with experienced researcher on undergrad thesis about real-time hair simulation.
■ Proposed a local-global hair simulation method that iterates between Newton's method step and LCP solver
■ Accelerated existent hair simulation algorithm by 10x

I'm a researcher focused on solving problems in computer graphics and machine learning. I am interested in large language models, multimodal reasoning, generative models, reinforcement learning, formal proof, crypto, and differentiable graphics. I like photography, snowboarding, digital drawing, electric guitar, sci-fi movie and anime. I sometimes do game streaming on bilibili.
