“Doug James named the inaugural LeRa Professor I in the Stanford University Department of Computer Science.” I’m happy to be named the LeRa Professor and grateful to Leaf Hua Li and Lei Rachel Li for their generous support of academic research at Stanford.
Congratulations to Jiayi Eris Zhang on being awarded an NVIDIA Fellowship, a Roblox Fellowship, and also being a 2025 WiGRAPH Rising Star.
Eris’s work on Progressive Dynamics++ is at SIGGRAPH 2025. Check out the latest VelPro integrator.
Kangrui’s work on WaveBlender is at SIGGRAPH Asia 2024. A faster and simpler way to synthesize low-noise sound for animations. Up to 1000x speedups over prior FDTD solvers.
Sky dancers from Eris’s Progressive Dynamics paper made the cover of the SIGGRAPH 2024 proceedings. “Yay Team!” :D
