About me
I am a Research Scientist at Reality Labs Pittsburgh. I was a Senior Research Scientist at Snap. I obtained the PhD from Zhejiang University(ZJU), supervised by Prof. Kun Zhou. I was a student member of Graphics and Parallel Systems Lab. I received my B. Eng. degree from College of Computer Science & Technology, Zhejiang University in 2010. My research concentrates on computer graphics.
[News] I am looking for PhD students as intern in my team, please shoot me an email if you are interested.
