Hello, there!

click Obi-wan and say hi~

Hi! I'm Jiahui. I received my Ph.D at Nanjing University of Science and Technology (NJUST) in Nov. 2025, advised by Prof. Jian Yang and Prof. Beibei Wang. As a young Padawan in Graphics, I started my journey in realistic rendering since my first year of Ph.D in 2020, when I received my Bachelor's at NJUST in the same year.

My research is centered on the intersection between AI and graphics, including neural appearance modeling and inverse rendering. I typically study the efficient representation and acquisition of complex materials, as well as the reconstruction and generation of 3D assets.

Apart from my research, I'm also deeply interested in modern dramas and movies (acting, screenwriting and directing), music theory, Formula 1 racing, TRPGs (scriptwriting and hosting), video games, learning foreign languages, and of course, making new friends!

FEEL FREE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME!


What am I doing?

My research interests mainly lie in realistic rendering and deep learning, specifically:
