Physical Simulation & Physical Intelligence
Our research is in Computer Graphics, with a particular focus on Physical Simulation. We seek to build immersive and intelligent digital worlds by combining geometric modeling, physical simulation, and realistic rendering. Our research spans a wide range of applications, from video games, animation, virtual reality, and computational design to embodied and physical AI and world models. At the core of our work is the development of fundamental theories and efficient algorithms for fast, accurate, and high-fidelity physical simulation, enabling digital environments that are not only visually realistic but also physically meaningful and interactive.
