I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computing at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. I obtained my PhD in Computer Animation from National Centre for Computer Animation (NCCA), Bournemouth University in 2021. Before embarking on my academic career, I worked in the animation and VFX industry in technical roles, I led a technical team in 3D animation film production and also served as a pipeline technical director in the production of several Hollywood feature films. During my PhD, I focused on the application and research of graphics and computer animation techniques in virtual surgical simulation. My research interests include computer graphics, computer animation, virtual surgical, XR technology, computer vision, deep learning, and technologies related to film/VFX/animation production pipelines. I have served as a reviewer for many international conferences (e.g. ACM Siggraph, IEEE VR, CGI, CASA, WWW) and journals (e.g. TVC, CAVW, C&G, SPL, AIR). And also, I am a professional member of ACM, IEEE, MICCAI, CSIG, CAAI, ASIFA, and CSMPTE, and a committee member of CCF-CAD&CG.
