Biography

I am a fourth-year PhD student in the Computer Science department at the University of California, Davis. I feel very fortunate to be co-advised by Prof. Joseph Teran and Prof. Julian Panetta.

My research interests lie in digital fabrication, physical simulation, animation retargeting and geometry processing for computer graphics. Currently, I am working on research related to machine learning-based animation retargeting, integrating a collision-aware rigid body solver to enhance efficiency and realism.

Before joining UC Davis, I double majored in Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Science and Technology of China. I was glad to be supervised by Prof. Ligang Liu and Prof. Xiaoming Fu in Graphics & Geometric Computing Laboratory.
