Hi, this is Mandy!
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Yale University, working with Prof. Julie Dorsey and Prof. Holly Rushmeier. Previously, I worked with Prof. Wenzel Jakob at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). I earned my PhD in Computer Science from Cornell University in 2022, advised by Prof. Steve Marschner. Before pursuing graduate studies, I received my Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2016, where I worked with Prof. Chenfanfu Jiang, and Prof. Joseph Teran.
My research bridges computer graphics, optics, and machine learning. I develop physics-based and neural methods for multiscale simulation and inverse rendering, combining physical accuracy with the flexibility and scalability of learning-based methods for practical and scientific impact.
Outside of work, I enjoy rock climbing and playing the drums.
