Duan Gao (高端)

I am a Principal Engineer at Huawei Cloud Media Innovation Lab. I received my Ph.D in computer science from Tsinghua University in 2022, advised by Prof. Kun Xu. I received my bachelor degree from Department of Computer Science and Technology, Nanjing University in 2017.

My research interests include: appearance modeling, physically-based rendering and real-time rendering.
