ABOUT ME
I am a third-year PhD student in the Computer Science at The University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Taku Komura. I also collaborate closely with Prof. Minchen Li from Carnegie Mellon University on physical simulation and its applications. Before starting my Ph.D journey, I worked with Prof. Hong Qin (Stony Brook University, New York) and Prof. Changbo Wang (ECNU) on Physical Simulation and High-Performance Computing, specifically focusing on real-time fluid simulation.
My current research interests include: Physical simulation, High performance computing, Differentiable simulation, Sim2Real(Robotics), Sim4ML, Machine Learning, Geometry processing, Rendering. I hope our research can help advance the development of real-time, physically accurate virtual world, and assist artificial intelligence in gaining a more efficient and comprehensive understanding of the real physical world.
We are currently developing the libuipc library. If you are interested in this project and would like to contribute to the development of this important library, please send me an email. We welcome your technical contributions and funding support. We also welcome the cooperations by using our library.
NEWS
2024 - A preview version of Libuipc is released. Hope it can be helpful for your projects. We will continually strive to develop more comprehensive versions and deliver more valuable application features in the future.
2024 - One another interesting and super useful simulation framework will be opensourced soon.
2024 - We have opensourced the first fully GPU optimized IPC framework without sacrificing accuracy. Hope it can be helpful for your projects.
2024 - We have opensourced a highly optimized GPU MPM framework with clean code design. Hope it can be helpful for high performance simulation learners.
2023 - We have opensourced a highly optimized GPU SPH framework. While the code design may not be perfect, the underlying parallel concept is clear and robust. Hope it can be helpful for high performance simulation learners.
PROJECTS
LIBUIPC (Both C++ and Python API are provided)
[source code] [instruction] [python examples]
Libuipc is a library that offers a unified GPU incremental potential contact framework for simulating the dynamics of rigid bodies, soft bodies, cloth, and threads. It ensures accurate, penetration-free frictional contact and is naturally differentiable. Libuipc aims to provide robust and efficient forward and backward simulations, making it easy for users to integrate with machine learning frameworks, inverse dynamics, robotics, and more.DiverseShot
