About Me

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student at the School of Information and Computer Science, University of California, Irvine, supervised by Prof. Shuang Zhao. I am interested in physically-based rendering and differentiable rendering. Before coming to UCI, I obtained M.S. in Computer Science from Columbia University and my B.Eng. in Software Engineering from Tongji University.
