Background
  • Research interests: The combination of inverse rendering and rendering, specifically focusing on practical ways to acquire, model, and manipulate the geometry and material properties, as well as the lightings and the camera views that affect visual appearances. Works include portrait relighting, surface material modeling, hair reconstruction, path guiding, novel view synthesis, etc.
