Hi! This is Yuqi Meng (yoo-chee mung). I also go by Arias.
I am currently a research assistant at University of Utah, advised by Prof. Yin Yang. Before that, I received my B.S.E. in Computer Science from University of Michigan and B.E. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. During my undergraduate years, I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Minchen Li, who introduced me to the field of physics simulation in computer graphics.
My research interest includes developing robust and efficient computing methods for physics-based simulation. Still exploring :)
