I am a Research Scientist and Manager at ByteDance Intelligent Creation on computer graphics and 3D computer vision. Our research and development support the ever-growing product line of ByteDance, including TikTok, Douyin and many others at global scale.
My work covers a wide range of areas including the creation, driving and rendering for virtual avatars, 3D scene understanding, reconstruction and tracking, most of them led to publications in top-tier computer graphics and computer vision venues such as SIGGRAPH / SIGGRAPH Asia, CVPR, ECCV. I contributed to many successful tech transfers empowering commercial products, such as TikTok Avatars, Douyin’s Landmark AR, Snapchat Landmarkers, Marker Tracking, 3D Stickers, which received media coverage from CNET, Engadget and TechCrunch etc.
Before joining ByteDance, I was a Lead Research Scientist at Snap Inc. working on a variety of AR research projects and products. Even before that, I worked as Research Scientist at Adobe Research on 3D scanning and 3D modeling. I obtained my PhD from Princeton University Computer Science Department in 2013 and my bachelor degree with honors from Tsinghua University School of Software in 2007.
