Dr. Hongxin Zhang

About Me

I am Hongxin Zhang, a Ph.D. graduated from Mathematics Department, Zhejiang University, China. I am an associate professor and a faculty member of the State Key Laboratory of CAD&CG, Zhejiang University.

During July~November 2001, I visited the Visual Computing Group at Microsoft Research Asia , Beijing. Then I spent one year (2002~2003) in Hong Kong, working with the Vision and Computer Graphics Group at HKUST, Hong Kong. During December 2004 ~ June 2005, I worked with the Computer Graphics Group at RWTH-Aachen, Germany.

Research

My research is in the fields of Computer Graphics and Geometric Modeling. And currently I am focusing on the topics of cute geometric modeling by using geometric computing and visual computing techniques, including:

• Geometric computing
  • Digital geometric processing
  • Surface representations (differential surfaces representations, subdivision surfaces, implicit surfaces)
  • Modeling by examples
• Visual computing
  • Machine learning methods
  • Texture mapping and texture synthesis
  • Computer animation
  • Image based modeling and rendering (BRDF estimations, etc.)
  • GPU techniques

Activities

• Pacific Graphics 2010
• CAD Graphics International 2009
