PROFESSIONAL WORK EXPERIENCE

Institute for Creative Technologies, University of Southern California Playa Vista, CA
Research Assistant April 2017 – March 2018
◦ Virtual Character Animation Research: Researched the current application status of virtual character’s cloth stitching
algorithms for applying to a large character animation simulation project based on Bullet physics library
◦ Autodesk Maya API R&D, Python: Researched, developed and released a Maya plugin showing the physically correct
moving path for reference while animators create the artistic moving path for a virtual character
Leapdroid Inc. (Acquired by Google) Fremont, CA
Software Engineering Intern June 2015 – September 2015
◦ Android App. Development: Independently developed a remote controller for Android virtual machine running on
Windows/macOS/Linux with socket programming
◦ OpenGL ES and Android NDK: Independently built a Live Viewer in the Android remote controller for mirroring the
screen and control of VM in real time
◦ Virtual Machine Development: Independently designed and implemented the audio driver bypassing and flow control
for Android VM, and debugged problems such as media codec bugs; The final Android VM product released was ranked

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
3D Animation Simulation Using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics in OpenGL, C++: USC, May 2017
• Individually created a program to simulate the graphical water effect with waves, droppings with floating objects in a
combined grid-based with particle-based system strategy in OpenGL; Kernel functioned by partial differential equations
• Provided an interactive interface for users to control the floating objects and water flow
Real-Time Image Based 3D Reconstruction, C++: USC, December 2017
• Collaborated with a group of 4 graduate students, reconstructed the 3D model from inputs including camera transform
information, a series of silhouettes and RGB Images, with a computation time less than 150 ms
• Based on MIP-maps, Hierarchical Voxelization using OpenCL and Marching Cubes Algorithm
Computer Animation Simulations based on Math and Physics, C++ and OpenGL: USC, May 2017
• Individually simulated the physics models such as constrained particles, mass-spring systems and motion capture
techniques, and developed rendering programs in OpenGL, using differential equations and matrix calculation
Mobile Device Game Development, C#, Unity and Xcode: USC, April 2018
• Led a group of 7 master’s students to develop a multi-scene platformer "Peter Pan’s Dream" in USC Gamepipe Laboratory
Multimedia AV Player with Video Summary Tapestry, Java: USC, December 2017
• Leading a group of 2 students, designed and developed an AV player taking RGB and wav data into synchronized video
• Keyframes and blends the video into a multilevel zoomable tapestry by motion compensation and seam carving
