Short Bio

I am currently a senior software engineer in Multi-chip group at NVIDIA. Before joining NVIDIA, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Department of Computer Science, University of Texas at Dallas, working with Dr. Xiaohu Guo. I got my Ph.D degree from School of Computing, National University of Singapore in 2007, and my M.Eng. degree and B.Eng. degee from School of Computer Science and Technology, Shandong University in 2003 and 2000 respectively.

Research Interests

My research interests include Computer Graphics, Computational Geometry, GPGPU, Visualization, Image Processing, Visual Computing, Computer Animation, Virtual Reality, and Human-Computer Interface.
