Tianyu Huang
Final-year undergraduate @ School of Software, Tsinghua University.
My interests lie in numerical algorithms in computer graphics and computational geometry, and my recent research primarily focuses on stochastic methods for solving boundary integral equations.
I have enjoyed fruitful collaborations with Professor Feng Xu at Tsinghua University and Professor Shuang Zhao at UIUC, and I am presently working with Professor Toshiya Hachisuka at University of Waterloo.
Due to a tight schedule recently, certain parts of the website may be updated later than usual.

Guiding-Based Importance Sampling for Walk on Stars [G, Re, Si]
Tianyu Huang, Jingwang Ling, Shuang Zhao, and Feng Xu
ACM SIGGRAPH 2025 (conference-track full paper)
We propose a guiding-based importance sampling method to reduce the variance of walk on stars.
Talks
- Guiding-Based Importance Sampling for Walk on Stars, at:
- SIGGRAPH 2025 technical paper session – Sample and Simulate: Make Some Noise
- CSIG Seminar 2025 session – Physical Simulation and World Models
Projects
Eric’s MagicaVoxel Shaders [Re, Sh]
Shaders for MagicaVoxel including Terrain Generator, Game of Life, Waterflow Simulator, Advanced Flood Shader etc.
This is a well-known shader project that has been used in a lot of voxel art creations.
RENDERTOY 2 [Re]
RenderToy 2 is a PBR final project for the IIIS course Advanced Computer Graphics.
This project won the 1st place in the PBR track in the popularity vote at the end of the course.
Gallery
While doing graphics research, I am also an active amateur CG artist. I like to create still images with a realistic style, especially fan art of my favorite video games.
