I am a lecturer in the School of Computer Science and Informatics, and a member of the Visual Computing Research Group. I work on 3D geometry processing and its application, such as freeform architectural design, digital fabrication, and human face modelling. I also work on numerical algorithms, especially on large-scale optimisation for geometry processing and physical simulation.
Previously, I worked as a lecturer in computer science at the University of Hull between 2015 and 2017. From 2012 to 2015, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Computer Graphics and Geometry Laboratory at EPFL, working with Mark Pauly. I obtained my PhD in Technical Mathematics from Vienna University of Technology in 2011, under the supervision of Helmut Pottmann. I received my master degree in Computer Science and bachelor degree in Computer Software in 2008 and 2005 respectively, both from Tsinghua University.
In summer 2018, I was a visiting professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, hosted by the Graphics & Geometric Computing Laboratory.
