CS PhD student in George Mason University Currently, I am working at the Design Computing and eXtended Reality (DCXR) group with my advisor Prof. Craig Yu. My research interests include VR, computational design and HCI, particularly on the applying computational technique and artificial intelligence techniques for creating personalized virtual experience and scenes. My research has been published in IEEE VR and ACM CHI; and was recognized with a Best Paper Honorable Mention Award at CHI 2019. In the summer of 2022, I interned at Adobe's Creative Intelligence Lab under the mentorship of Cuong Nguyen and Rubaiat Habib . Email: yzhang59@gmu.edu |
