Co-founder and CEO of Meshy (formerly known as Taichi Graphics, rebranded for a snappier, more memorable name).

Ph.D. in computer science (MIT CSAIL), advised by Frédo Durand and Bill Freeman.

I graduated with honor from Tsinghua University (Yao class) in July 2017. I worked on deep learning and computer vision, during my internship with Stephen Lin at Microsoft Research Asia. My undergrad thesis is on automatic (differentiable) photo post-processing using reinforcement learning & GANs (TOG & SIGGRAPH 2018). I completed my master thesis (The ChainQueen Differentiable Physical Simulator) with Wojciech Matusik in November 2018. My research has been partly supported by an Edwin Webster fellowship, a Snap Research fellowship, an Adobe Research fellowship, a Facebook Research fellowship, and a GPU gift from NVIDIA.

At Meshy we continue the development of Taichi Lang, and have been building new products including Taitopia Render for product visualization and Meshy AI for 3D generative AI.

Update July 2022: The Taichi thesis is awarded MIT EECS 2022 George M. Sprowls Thesis Award and SIGGRAPH 2022 Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award Honorable Mention.
