Biography:
Welcome to my homepage! I am currently a PhD student in School of Computer Science, NUDT, under the
supervision of Prof. Yueshan Xiong. Since November 2008, I have been visiting GrUVi lab in SFU, working
with Prof. Richard (Hao) Zhang. I got my Bachelor degree and Master degree in 2004 and 2005 respectively,
both from NUDT.

My research interests are in the areas of computer graphics, especially in geometry processing. My current
topics of interests include shape analysis, texture synthesis, mesh generation and optimization, deformation
and space-time shape processing.  I am actively in collaboration with Prof. Danny Cohen-Or, Ligang Liu,
Tao Ju, and Alla Sheffer. Please take a look at my publication page.
