About Me

I am a PhD student at Georgia Tech, advised by Prof. Bo Zhu. I received my Bachelor degree of Computer Science at Peking University in 2020, advised by Prof. Baoquan Chen.

My research focuses on physics-based simulation. I develop high-performance GPU algorithms to achieve accurate physical simulations on consumer-grade hardware that previously required supercomputers, enabling advancements in scientific research, computer-aided engineering, and virtual reality applications. My work spans adaptive-resolution high-performance GPU algorithms, high-precision interface tracking, and novel low-dissipation numerical schemes.
