TIANYU HUANG /ˈtjæn.ju ˈhwɑːŋ/ 黄 天予
Final-year undergraduate at School of Software, Tsinghua University.
Research Overview
My research is at and beyond computer graphics and scientific computing.
Specifically, I am interested in the underlying first-principles of the numerical algorithms and data-driven techniques, especially PDE solvers and scene representations.
The overarching research question is to build theory-grounded methods that work in complex environments.
Academia & Industry Collaborations
During my undergraduate studies, I have been fortunate to collaborate with Professor Feng Xu, and Professor Hao Pan at Tsinghua University. Besides, I have worked with Professor Shuang Zhao at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Professor Toshiya Hachisuka at University of Waterloo, and Dr. Ryusuke Sugimoto at Institute of Science and Technology Austria.
I am an incoming research intern at VAST. More information TBA.
Services & Peer-Reviewing Conflicts
I am an reviewer of SIGGRAPH 2026 & EUROGRAPHICS 2026.
