Biography

I am a senior at South China Agricultural University. I am keen on realistic rendering, a way of coding the beauty of nature.

Previously I worked on analytical area light integration for interests under the supervision of Dr. Li-Yi Wei. My research interests involve efficient sampling and integration for rendering application.

Living-Room in Unity

A course project work for Virtual Reality which explores Lightmapping techniques with the newest High-Definition Rendering Pipeline in Unity. With prebaked global illumination using ray tracing methodology, it brings the Living-Room scene to the word-class game engine.

Simple Photo Viewer

A simple photoviewer written for OOP course using C++/WinRT deployed at Universal Windows Platform. Common file management operations like copy, paste, remove etc. are supported. Standard C++17 and XAML language are used for the project. Several optimization techniques are employed to provide the user with a smooth interaction when previewing large image files.
