I am a research scientist at Adobe based in Seattle. I received my PhD and Master's degree from Simon Fraser University, supervised by Prof. Hao (Richard) Zhang, and obtained my Bachelor's degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I have won the best student paper award at CVPR 2020 and best paper award candidate at CVPR 2023. I was an NVIDIA graduate fellowship finalist and received Google PhD Fellowship in 2021. I have also interned at Adobe, NVIDIA, and Google in the past. My research interest is in computer graphics with a specialty in geometric modeling, machine learning, 3D reconstruction, and shape synthesis.
