FOCUS

Graphics & Rendering
Games & Engine
Light & Materials

I build rendering systems, graphics tools, and interactive experiences. My work focuses on real-time light and materials, ray tracing, Gaussian splatting, simulation, and the engine and editor workflows that make them usable.

I'm currently an M.S.E. candidate in Computer Graphics and Game Technology at the University of Pennsylvania. Before that, I studied Software Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
