I am looking for a few talented students (undergraduate or graduate) to join my research group. If you are interested in visualization or computer graphics research, please stop by during my weekly open office-hour (Monday 5:00-5:30pm) or make an appointment according to my schedule.

• Ph.D.'06 Computer Science, University of Minnesota at Twin Cities. MN, USA.
• M.S. '05 Computer Engineering, University of Minnesota at Twin Cities. MN, USA.
• B.A. '98 Law (Intellectual Property), Peking University. Beijing, China.
• B.S. '97 Chemistry, Peking University. Beijing, China.

• My primary research interests fall in the field of computer graphics and visualization with emphasis on illustrative visualization (non-photorealistic rendering and its application in visualization), high fidelity visualization, high-dynamic range imaging and rendering, novel visualization user interface, and computational geometry. I am also interested in extending my research scope to information visualization and its applications on bioinformatics, multimedia, networking and other non-traditional objects.
