I’m a final-year Ph.D. student in the Computer Graphics Group at Yale University, advised by Prof. Holly Rushmeier. My research lies at the intersection of computer graphics and 3D computer vision, with prior work spanning 3D reconstruction, reflectance capture, and material appearance modeling. More recently, I have focused on high-quality human digitization, leveraging neural representations to model human motion, hair, head, etc.

During my Ph.D., I interned at Adobe Research twice (Summer 2021, Summer 2022), working with Dr. Yi Zhou on projects related to neural motion fields and parametric 3D hair modeling. In Summer 2024, I interned at Meta Codec Avatars Lab with Dr. Giljoo Nam.

Prior to Yale, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Zhejiang University, under the supervision of Prof. Hongzhi Wu.
