I am a PhD student in the Computer Science Department of Columbia University. I am a member of the CAVE lab and the Graphics lab. My advisers are Prof. Shree Nayar, Prof. Peter Belhumeur, and Prof. Ravi Ramamoorthi. Before I came to Columbia University, I got a B.S. and M.S. from Department of Automation at Tsinghua University in China. I had also been a visiting student in Microsoft Research Asia from 2003 to 2004, and an intern student in Adobe Research (CTL lab) in the summer of 2008.

Research Interests

My research interests are computer vision and computer graphics. I am particularly interested in understanding and modeling the physics-based image formation mechanism and the intrinsic structure of the visual appearance of various types of natural phenomena, and applying them in:
  • Data-Driven Computer Graphics for acquiring and recreating realistic visual appearance of natural phenomena;
  • Physics-based Computer Vision for recovering higher-level information such as geometry, material properties, and illumination;
  • Computational Photography for capturing high-quality, information-rich photographs and videos.
