About Me
I am a research engineer currently working on neural network accelerated soft-body simulations, neural rendering and neural game engines in the video game industry.
Research Interest
I am also highly interested in robust computation in/with dynamical systems (e.g., reservoir computing, cellular automata), as well as in modelling dynamical systems with neural networks.
Misc Interest
In addition to my research, I am also interested in computer graphics, namely ray tracing/marching, and general game development.
