About Me
I
am a computer science Ph.D. student at the GrUVi Lab at Simon Fraser University advised by Professor Xue Bin Peng.
Previously, I completed my B.A.Sc. in Engineering Science at the University of Toronto, and spent a few years developing physical simulation software at Rocscience.
This summer, I am doing a research internship at Disney Research Studios.
My research focuses on the intersection of computer animation and robotics, particularly by making physically simulated things move in a lifelike manner.
