About

I am currently a Research Professor at the State Key Lab of CAD&CG and the College of Computer Science, Zhejiang University (ZJU), after getting my Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia (UBC).

My research interests lie in identifying computational principles behind design and manufacturing processes, as well as their algorithmic implementations, to drive the paradigm shift from computer-aided design & manufacturing towards computer-automated design & manufacturing (defined as: design by the computer & manufacturing in the computer).

Current research work includes CAD/CAM with emphasis on (1) the basic research of geometric and physical modeling of surfaces, solids and microstructures, and (2) the applied research of intelligent design and manufacturing.

Pinned: Highly motivated students (both undergrads and grads) are welcome to join our group to develop next-generation software for design and manufacturing. A solid background in Mechanical Engineering and Programming is a plus. Please shoot me an email if you are interested in working with me.
