I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Computer Science and Informatics at Cardiff University. My primary research interest is in 3D geometry processing and its applications, including architectural geometry, digital fabrication, and human face modelling.
Before coming to Cardiff, I worked as a Lecturer in computer science at University of Hull between 2015 and 2017. From 2012 to 2015, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Computer Graphics and Geometry Laboratory at EPFL, working with Mark Pauly. I obtained my PhD in Technical Mathematics from Vienna University of Technology in 2011, under the supervision of Helmut Pottmann. I received my master degree in Computer Science and bachelor degree in Computer Software in 2008 and 2005 respectively, both from Tsinghua University.
