I'm Jing Yang / 杨靖 / 양정

I am a Ph.D. candidate @ USC's Vision & Graphics Lab (VGL) working with Prof. Yajie Zhao, Prof. Hao Li, and Prof. Randal Hill. Drawing inspiration from the pioneering Paul Debevec, our research adjunct professor, I'm delving into Light Stage related research projects and problems.

Research: My research interests are centered on tackling challenges in light transport through the use of Light Stage and machine learning. I am particularly passionate about acquiring real-world material properties and applying them to relighting, physically accurate material generation, and physically-based neural rendering. My goal is to improve the accuracy and realism of material representation and light interaction in digital environments.

Experience: I'll join NVIDIA as a research intern shortly. Previously, I interned @ Dolby Vision, Tiktok U.S., and Google Open Source, contributing to research and development in graphics, vision, and AI. Moreover, I founded papercopilot.com, a platform that has gained 284k users across 182 countries. My work has been featured in Barclays Equity Gilt Study, SCMP, ShoutoutLA, 机器之心 (jiqizhixin.com), 新智元 (aiera.com.cn), 量子位 (qbitai.com), and other media outlets.

Community: I continue to engage with the broader research community through conference reviews (ICLR, NeurIPS, ICML, etc.), attendance, and technical contributions. Moreover, My volunteer leadership roles at the Olympic/Paralympic Games have been covered by media outlets such as 中国中央电视台 (CCTV-5, CCTV-13), 北京卫视 (BRTV).
