π I am a Ph.D. student since Jan. 2023 at the University of Hong Kong, supervised by Taku Komura. I obtained my M.Sc. degree at Saarland University and Max Planck Institute for Informatics (supervisor: Marc Habermann) and B.Sc. degree at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
I had a few wonderful research internship experiences at different companies and institutes, namely Adobe Research (2021, mentor: Yang Zhou), miHoYo (2020, mentor: Jun Xing), MPI-INF (2019, supervisor: Gerard Pons-Moll.)
My research interests lie in the intersection of computer vision and computer graphics. More specifically, I am interested in modeling and animating digital characters (including the body and the clothes) driven by data. My research goal is to develop algorithms that can free content creators from hard labours.
Our team is seeking undergraduate/master students interested in human pose estimation, motion control, and Large-Language-Motion-Models (LLMM). We offer opportunities to work on your thesis or join as a Research Assistant.
π What you can get:
β
Cutting-edge research in human-compute graphics.
β
Hands-on experience with high-end equipment: advanced mesh scanners and motion capture system.
β
Collaborative thesis development or full-time research role.
β
Recommendation letters for your applications.
If you feel interested, just send me an email (zycliao@cs.hku.hk).

TailorNet is the first neural model which predicts clothing deformation in 3D as a function of three factors: pose, shape and style (garment geometry), while retaining wrinkle detail. We also present a garment animation dataset of 55800 frames generated by physically based simulation
