My research sits at the intersection of Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning. My research focuses on both fundamental problems and practical applications in this domain. In particular, I explore 3D representations for applying machine learning on 3D geometric data. Instead of focusing on a single representation (e.g., point cloud or volumetric grid), my recent research aims at unlocking the potential of using hybrid 3D representations.

I also study algorithms for analyzing and processing big 3D data. One central problem on this topic is how to build maps across a collection of objects, i.e., map synchronization. This problem also generalizes to learning neural networks jointly and is tied to hybrid 3D representations. My very recent focus is on another central problem in the big 3D data era, namely how to quantify the uncertainties of geometry processing algorithms. Another recent research topic is how to install regularization losses to preserve geometric, physical, and topological priors when performing 3D shape generation.
