Shuang Zhao

I am an Associate Professor at the Siebel School of Computing and Data Science (SSCDS) of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Before joining UIUC, I was an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science of the University of California, Irvine (UCI). I obtained my Ph.D. in computer science from Cornell University in 2014.

I received the NSF CAREER Award in 2023.

My group works broadly in 3D computer graphics and vision. We devise numerical algorithms for simulating various physical phenomena (e.g., light transport). Further, we develop efficient solutions to the inverse problems centered around the inference or optimization of geometric or material properties.
