I was born in Shanghai, China and had spent my wonderful childhood
there with my parents. After high school, I went to Peking University
in Beijing. The four years of college life had provided me with knowledge,
skills, and experience, and also cultivated in me the curiosity for more.
That brought me to New York University where I have been pursuing my
Ph.D. study.
During my study here at NYU, my major research focus is Computer
Graphics, especially in the field of human modeling and animation. Using
artificial life modeling techniques, we model human pedestrians as
self-controlled individuals, with each of them having motor, perceptual,
behavioral and cognitive abilities. These intelligent human agents can be
animated naturally with very little user intervention. My research page has
more details about such artificial characters.
One of my hobbies is to travel and explore the world, as this world is full
of amazing things, whether natural or artificial, that are beautiful, delightful
and inspiring.
