Xiaokun Wang(王 笑 琨)

Associated Professor, University of Science and Technology Beijing

I am currently an Associate Professor at the School of Intelligence Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB). I obtained my Ph.D. from the School of Computer and Communication Engineering, USTB, in January 2017, under the supervision of Professor Xiaojuan Ban.

From 2017 to 2022, I held various positions including Post-doc, Lecturer, and Associate Professor at the School of Computer and Communication Engineering, USTB. Additionally, I spent two periods as a visiting scholar and postdoctoral researcher at the Bernoulli Institute, University of Groningen in the Netherlands, from July 2019 to May 2020 and from February 2023 to September. During these visits, I collaborated with Professor Alexandru C. Telea and Professor Jiří Kosinka from the Scientific Visualization and Computer Graphics (SVCG) group.

Furthermore, from July 2021 to July 2023, I worked as a Marie-Curie Fellow at the National Centre for Computer Animation, Bournemouth University, UK. This position was under the supervision of Professors Jian Chang and Jian Jun Zhang and was funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 Marie Curie Individual Fellowship.

Research Interests: Physics-based modeling (fluids & deformations), differential rendering and simulation, virtual reality (surgical simulation), novel HCI (motion control and haptics), and the application of pertinent technologies in industry.
