Biography

I am currently a fourth-year PhD student in the School of Intelligence Science and Technology in Peking University, advised by Prof. Baoquan Chen. I am also fortunate to receive guidance from Dr. Bin Wang, Prof. Mengyu Chu and Prof. Bo Zhu. I received my Bachelor’s degree with honors in Science from the AI Turing Program in the School of EECS, Peking University in 2022.

My general research interests lie in computer graphics, especially in physically based animation. I am particularly interested in building accurate, robust, and efficient simulation systems that support interactive and learnable environments. Toward this goal, my work concentrates on thin-shell dynamics and collision detection — key components for simulating digital humans and physical environments

Apart from research, I’m also interested in Chinese operas and Chinese chess.
