Bio

I got my Ph.D. degree in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Chi-Wing Fu, Philip. Before that, I got my bachelor degree from Shandong University in 2017.

Research Interest

I enjoy developing computational methods to automate the design process for assembly objects. This is a multi-disciplinary task that involves the study of various techniques such as geometry processing, visualization, combinatorial optimization, physical analysis, machine learning, etc. Now I'm launching a start-up to developing an automatic design and manufacturing system for brick toy models.
