I am a Cheung Kong Professor of computer science at Zhejiang University. I received my PhD degree from Zhejiang University. After graduation I spent six years with Microsoft Research Asia, and was a lead researcher of the graphics group before moving back to Zhejiang University. I was named one of the world's top 35 young innovators by MIT Technology Review (2011), was elected an IEEE Fellow (2015) and an ACM Fellow (2020).

Research

My research interests are in computer graphics, computer vision, parallel computing and human computer interaction. I have conducted a wide range of research on shape modeling/editing, texture mapping/synthesis, real-time rendering, GPU parallel computing, real-time face tracking, and 3D printing. These lines of research have led to over 150 publications (including 70+ SIGGRAPH/TOG papers) and 40+ granted US patents over the past few years. Some of the technologies have been integrated into the D3DX library of Microsoft DirectX, licensed to Disney, Weta Digital, L'OREAL, P&G, and adopted by Bungie Studio (I received credit for my light map generation and compression work on Halo 3).

Real-Time Face Tracking & Digital Avatar
- Four-view mage-based hair modeling: a lightweight, image-based hair modeling method that takes as input only four hair images at the front, back, left and right views, and produces a high-quality strand-level 3D hair model.
- Image-based dynamic avatars: an image-based representation for dynamic 3D avatars, which allows effective handling of various hairstyles and headwear, and can generate expressive facial animations with finescale details in real-time.
- AutoHair: the first fully automatic method for 3D hair modeling from a single portrait image, with no user interaction or parameter tuning.
- High-fidelity facial performance capture: the first method capable of capturing facial performances in real-time at high fidelity, including medium scale details such as wrinkles.
- FaceWarehouse: a database of 3D facial expressions for visual computing applications. It contains 150 persons (aged 7-80 from various ethnic backgrounds) with 47 different facial expressions for each person. It is free for research purpose.
- User-specific face tracking: a 3D shape regression algorithm for accurate real-time 3D face alignment using a single web camera. This user-specific regression approach is experimentally shown to surpass previous appearance-based tracking methods that fit a generic 3D face model to 2D images.
- Generic face tracking: a calibration-free approach to real-time facial tracking and animation with a single video camera. It learns a generic regressor from public image datasets, which can be applied to any user and arbitrary video cameras to infer accurate 2D facial landmarks as well as the 3D facial shape from 2D video frames.
- Real-time hair simulation: a data-driven approach that learns a reduced model to optimally represent hair motion characteristics with a small number of guide hairs. It enables a simulation of a full head of hairs with over 150K strands in realtime. It can also support hair-solid simulation with an adaptive hair skinning algorithm.
- Single-view hair modeling: a semi-automatic hair modeling technique that generates a plausible high-resolution strand-based 3D hair model from a single image. It enables a number of interesting applications that were previously challenging, including hairstyle transfer, portrait popups, image-space hair editing, video hair editing and 3D printed high-relief portraits.
3D Printing & Computational Fabrication
- Subspace stress analysis: an example-based subspace stress analysis method for stress-aware shape design. It runs up to two orders of magnitude faster than the full-space finite element analysis, with average L2 estimation errors less than 2% and maximum L2 errors less than 6%.
- Computational thermoforming: a thermoforming surface color printing technique, with virtual simulation based texture warping and automatic vacuum hole layout generation.
- Computational hydrographic printing: a new method for physically decorating 3D surfaces with user-customized color textures using conventional inkjet printers. It has a low operation cost (less than 40 US cents per printing), and works for complex surface geometries and a wide range of materials including plastic, wood and porcelain.
- Inverse elastic shape design: an asymptotic numerical method for computing rest shapes for elastic fabrication. It computes the rest shape of an elastic object such that after physical fabrication the real object deforms into a desired shape.
- Agile simulation-aided shape editing: a shape editing system that integrates FEM simulation to provide stress distribution feedback during mesh editing, targeting personal fabrication applications.
GPU Parallel Computing
- SPAP (Same Program for All Processors): a new programming language for heterogeneous many-core systems. It allows the same program to work efficiently on all processors of a heterogeneous system and fully utilize the heterogeneous processing power by automatically distributing computations among different processors. The language currently supports x86 CPUs and CUDA GPUs.
- RenderAnts: a Reyes rendering system that runs entirely on GPUs. The system takes RenderMan scenes and shaders as input, generates photorealistic images, and is over one order of magnitude faster than existing CPU-based renderers. RenderAnts source code is free to the research community (source code & test scenes). A micropolygon ray tracing algorithm was recently added to the system to efficiently render defocus, motion blur, and secondary ray effects.
- GPGPU debugger: a new framework for debugging GPU stream programs, which is based on GPU Interrupt, a new mechanism that allows calling CPU functions from GPU code. The debugging functions are exposed in BSGP.
- BSGP (bulk-synchronous GPU programming): a new programming language for general purpose computation on GPUs, which makes GPU programs easier to read, write and maintain while preserving high efficiency (download the BSGP package).
- GPU data structures: KD-Trees, Octrees (sparse), Octrees (linear), memory-scalable spatial hierarchies, 4D hyper-trapezoid BVH, 6D line space hierarchy, vector solid textures
Real-Time Rendering

Soft shadows: shadow fields, spherical harmonic exponentiation, spherical harmonic scaling, all-freq. bi-scale rendering
Dynamic materials: dynamic BRDF, dynamic refraction
Scattering media: smoke rendering, fogshop, gradient-based interpolation & sampling, hair rendering, line space gathering, gradient-index optics
Global illumination: GPU-based ray tracing & photon mapping, GPU-based irradiance caching

Texture Mapping/Synthesis

Texture mapping: iso-charts (DirectX's UVAtlas), texture montage, spherical parameterization
Texture synthesis: progressively-variant texture, BTF painting, mesh quilting, HDR hallucination, inverse texture synthesis, hair geometry synthesis, motion field synthesis

Shape Modeling/Editing

Poisson mesh editing, volumetric graph Laplacian, subspace mesh deformation, 2D shape deformation, subdivision surface deformation, mesh puppetry, mesh animation editing, dynamic skinning, joint-aware deformation, out-of-core mesh processing, shape interpolation with dynamics, multi-component deformation transfer, motion imitation
