Dongqing Wang 王冬青

I am a PhD student at the Image and Visual Representation Lab, part of the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at EPFL, Switzerland. My PhD advisor is Prof. Sabine Süsstrunk.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science with a minor in Music, as well as my Master of Engineering degree from Cornell University, where I was supervised by Prof. Steve Marschner.

Please feel free to reach out to me via email for research collaborations. For EPFL master and bachelor students interested in doing a semester project with me, a list of potential ideas can be found at our lab website.

I'm interested in Computer Graphics, 3D Computer Vision and Machine Learning.

A neural representation for a 3D transparent object that disentangles its geometry and illumination-dependent appearance.

During my undergraduate studies at Cornell, I've been involved in many interesting projects from music visualization to on-skin interface development.

Implemented 1. a C++ based Ray Tracer and Rasterizer that include camera system, point, ambient and area light, etc. 2. a C++ based Rasterizer that implemented both forward and deferred shading, sun-sky model with bloom effect as well as ambient occlusion for light source.

A fractal music visualizer that allows you to upload your favorite song (mp3, m4a, wav, aiff, or flac) and creates a bedazzling fractal visualization of the song for you.

A multimodal Asynchronous Actor Critic Network to allow a low DOF robot to react to the received human emotional signals, e.g, happy, sad, fear and anger.

This work is based on Blossom: A Handcrafted Soft Social Robot developed in Professor Hoffman's Human-Robot Collaboration & Companionship Lab.

Worked on the electronics and software control, detecting user gestures and hand movements as well as tempreture changes of WovenSkin, a fabrication process to create customized functional devices that can be attached directly on human skin.

A device dedicated for everyone with or without a perfect hearing to create and enjoy music in various colorful ways.

More or less random stuff.

This image is based on a hand-drawn illustration showing an object with both viewing direction and light source by Professor Marschner in CS5625.

I found myself constantly confused during research, thus this image.

Kudos to Dr. Jon Borron for this website template.
