About

I am a researcher (Chargé de Recherche) at Inria and a permanent member of the GeomeriX project-team. After earning my PhD from Zhejiang University in 2020, I spent one year each as a postdoctoral fellow at Télécom Paris and École Polytechnique before joining Inria Saclay. My research has been focusing on the numerical foundations of geometric modeling and physical simulation, covering topics such as multiscale analysis, numerical preconditioning and interactive techniques.
