    Research Summary

    My research background is originally in Computer Graphics, with specific interests in optimising the FEM (Finite Element Method) based systems of linear equations using matrices to achieve challenging accurate cutting of surfaces in real-time.

    My current research interest is in the way in which Machine Learning, especially Deep Learning techniques, can be used to expand the application range of Computer Graphics and boost the solving speed of large-scale datasets. Specifically, practical applications of interest lie in Remote Sensing Image Processing and Geometric Deep Learning.
