[CURRENT] I am a Research Fellow in Digital Media Innovation at UoM, mentored by Prof. Taehyun Rhee.
[PAST] I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in Computer Graphics Department at Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik, advised by Prof. Karol Myszkowski and Prof. Hans-Peter Seidel. Prior to that, I obtained my Ph.D. degree from School of Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Prof. Miuling Lam.
[RESEARCH] My research is centered on the innovation of computational media, positioned at the intersection of Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence, and Human-Computer Interaction. I am particularly interested in exploring how AI can be applied to enhance digital media representation, generation, reconstruction, and editing. Additionally, I focus on how these advancements can improve immersive, interactive, and accessible experiences for users, particularly within mixed reality environments.
