Hi, 👋

I am (Heskey) Ang Zhao, born in 2002, and currently a graduate student of Xiamen University, majoring in computer graphics and 3D vision, with a particular focus on 3D/4D reconstruction/generation. I am currently honored to have the opportunity to work with Professor Xiaohu Guo from The University of Texas at Dallas and Xiao DONG from BNU-HKBU United International College. I also collaborate with Zhiyang Dou from MIT CSAIL closely. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Game Design from Communication University of China. I’ve previously spent wonderful times interning at Tencent IEG(2024) and Metamaker(2022) as a research engineer, Motphys(2024) working on physics engine development, Tencent CSIG(2022) as a software engineer intern.

My research interests include:

• Physically-based Rendering: more specifically, (deep) real-time volumetric rendering and material modeling.
• Physically-based Simulation: deformable body simulation and cloth simulation.
• Computer Character Animation: high-quality motion generation/control for digital humans.
• Computer Vision: 3D/4D reconstruction/generation.

🏓 Miscs.

I used to be a big fan of game design from young age. To create my own games, I started coding in 2017 and learned to use the Unity Engine in 2019. A pivotal moment came in 2020 when a game programmer shared the book Physically Based Rendering: From Theory To Implementation. I was obsessed with computer graphics from then on. I learnt rendering from morning to midnight every day. This focus paid off in 2021 when I was hunted by Tencent. There I broadened my knowledge, exploring diverse fields including economics, game theory, psychology, management and art.
