Hi!

I am Zhili Chen. I am a Research Scientist in 3D Graphics at Adobe Research based in San Jose, California. My research interest lies in physically based simulation, real-time physics and rendering, 3D reconstruction and virtual reality. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from The Ohio State University under supervision of Professor Huamin Wang. Please visit my projects page for what I have worked on. Email me if you have interesting ideas to share or if you want to work with me as intern.

I love hiking and landscape photography. Some of my photos can be found here (I have not yet uploaded many photos). I am also an active basketball and tennis player. I also autocross with BMWWCCA GGC.

My resumé is here. For most up-to-date resumé, View Zhili Chen's profile on LinkedIn
