Academic Achievements
  • Multiple papers accepted at top conferences such as CVPR, NeurIPS, SCA, ECCV, and SIGGRAPH; one paper received a NeurIPS Honorable Mention Outstanding New Directions Award; another paper received an IEEE VR Best Journal Paper Honorable Mention.
Research Experience
  • Joined Facebook Reality Labs (FRL) in Pittsburgh as a Research Scientist in September 2019; Joined Stanford University as visiting assistant professor in November 2018.
Background
  • The goal of my research is to enable fully immersive remote communication and interaction in the virtual world at a level that is indistinguishable from reality. One challenge is photo-realistic digitization and efficient rendering of digital humans. I develop key technology that combines fundamental computer vision, machine learning, and graphics techniques in a new neural capture and rendering paradigm.
Miscellany
  • Co-taught CS448V at Stanford with M. Agrawala and O. Fried in April 2019; Organized the DynaVis workshop (e.g., at CVPR 2020 and 2019).
