       CV : PDF

I am currently an ITC postdoc at the University of Hong Kong, working with Prof. Taku Komura. Prior to that, I was a postdoc at the University of Tokyo with Prof. Takeo Igarashi. I received the Ph.D. degree from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, supervised by Prof. Chiew-Lan Tai, and I also worked closely with Prof. Hongbo Fu.
My research is dedicated to integrating interdisciplinary techniques from computer vision, computer graphics, and human-computer interaction to develop intelligent tools that enhance algorithms and foster user creativity.
