Zhouyuan Chen

I'm currently a full-time son to my parents while waiting for my PhD visa, whenever it decides to arrive. In the meantime, I keep doing research purely for the joy of it — for the kid I once was, and for the love of the elegant graphics work that first drew me in.

I'm broadly interested in computer graphics, especially geometry processing, shape analysis, and digital fabrication. Recently, I had a wonderful year at Inria, France, where I did two internships. One was supervised by Dr. Adrien Bousseau at Inria Sophia Antipolis, focusing on topology optimization problems. Another one was advised by Dr. Etienne Corman at Inria Nancy Grand Est on medial axis and parameterization algorithms.

I received my M.S. in Computer Science from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, and my B.E. in Software Engineering from Zhejiang University of Technology. Over the course of my studies, I gradually came to realize I loved graphics. And I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Teseo Schneider, Daniele Panozzo, and Jiazhou Chen.
