About Me

Since 2026, I have been an assistant researcher at the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at RWTH Aachen University, Germany, from 2024 to 2026, and at the Visual Computing Center of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) from 2022 to 2024.

I received my PhD in fundamental mathematics from Beihang University in 2022 and my BSc in mathematics from the same university in 2016. From 2019 to 2020, I was a visiting student in computer science at New York University. My research interests include computer graphics, computer-aided design, geometric modeling, and discrete differential geometry.
