Hello! My name is Song Shi.
My path to computer graphics was through architecture design. The early career on architecture helped me build an artistic perception on light and materials. How light interacts with the physical world always fascinates me. This curiosity naturally led me to investigate how compelling visual effects are simulated through mathematics and computation.
I am currently a master student of M.S. in CS with Concentration in Digital Arts at Dartmouth College. I am fortunate enough to work in the VCL lab under the guidance of Prof. Wojciech Jarosz.
My experience is extensive, including art, architecture, games development, and math.Recent experience
