R&D on game engine projects: mainly focused on GPU and graphics algorithms, real-time rendering, ray tracing, physically based simulation of fluid, cloth, fire and smoke, etc. More technical details can be found in our SIGGRAPH 2023 presentation. Frontline game developing experiences using Unity and Unreal.

- Leading Huawei's graphics algorithm team in UK, which develops advanced rendering algorithms and techniques for video games; designs new features for both GPU software and hardware. - Expertise in graphics, real-time rendering, game engines, GPGPU and GPU architecture, Vulkan, OpenGL.

This was a permanent academic post, equivalent to a Senior Lecturer (or, roughly equivalent to an Associate Professor in the North American system). - Performing research in the lab of CCGV (Centre for Computer Graphics and Visualisation), which had five main spheres of activity, of which GPU-based graphics was led by me. - Awarded a Marie Curie Research Fellowship by the European Research Commission. - Awarded a ”Rising Stars Programme” by the University of Bedfordshire. - Supervising PhD students as Director of Supervisors (DoS). - Teaching courses (computer graphics, computer animation, and GPU-based parallel computing using CUDA) to the university students and postgraduates at Department of Computer Science and Technology. - Specialties: Computer Graphics, GPU computing, Rendering Algorithms, Data Visualization, AI and Deep Learning.

Performing research on realtime rendering algorithms and GPU-based parallel computing. Projects done at MSRA are as below: – Nonlinear Beam Tracing on a GPU; – Multi-Layer Depth Peeling via Fragment Sort; – Sketch Reality: Realistic Interpretation of Architectural Designs (the 3D rendering part was implemented by me). • Filed a US patent on GPU-based Ray-Tracing, and published a journal paper in «Computer Graphics Forum» (CGF), presented at Pacific Graphics conference.

- Obtained a Graphics PhD from the State Key Lab of Computer Science in ISCAS （Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences） - Performing research on realtime rendering algorithms and GPU-based parallel computing.
