Academic Achievements
- Publications in ACM CHI, UIST, Ubicomp/IMWUT, and IEEE TVCG. Notable works include GaussianNexus: Room-Scale Real-Time AR/VR Telepresence with Gaussian Splatting, VirtualNexus: Enhancing 360-Degree Video AR/VR Collaboration with Environment Cutouts and Virtual Replicas, SurfShare: Lightweight Spatially Consistent Physical Surface and Virtual Replica Sharing with Head-Mounted Mixed Reality, Virtual Reality Telepresence: 360-Degree Video Streaming with Edge-Compute Assisted Static Foveated Compression, StructureSense: Inferring Constructive Assembly Structures from User Behaviors.
Research Experience
- During his PhD, he has researched hyper-realistic scene representations (e.g., 360° video, NeRF, Gaussian Splatting) and spatial alignment across heterogeneous environments. He enables users to navigate remote spaces and share 2D and 3D physical objects across distances. Additionally, he has explored assembly tracking with RFID sensing, touch inputs on physical surfaces for AR, and gesture sensing through piezo signals.
Education
- PhD in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia, supervised by Dr. Robert Xiao; MS in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, advised by Nikola Banovic and Alanson Sample; BS in Computer Science from New York University Shanghai.
Background
- Research Interests: telepresence, AR/VR interactive techniques, and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). His PhD thesis focuses on making spatial telepresence more natural by enhancing three key aspects: realism, interactivity, and collaborative awareness.
