Short Bio

I am currently a Research Fellow at the Immersive Reality Lab, College of Design and Engineering (CDE), working in collaboration with the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, NUS. Before joining NUS, I obtained my Ph.D. degree in March, 2024 at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). My research interest mainly focuses on the intersection of computer vision and computer graphics, including but not limited to interactive VR/AR/MR rendering, HDR lighting estimation and panoramic scene understanding. My research goal is to enable photo-realistic content creation automatically for VR/AR/MR applications. Recently, I am also interested in perceptually realistic graphics and VR/AR/MR medical simulation training and education.
