Cheng Sun is a research scientist specializing in 3D reconstruction, computer vision, and deep learning, currently working at NVIDIA and pursuing a PhD at National Tsing Hua University. With 11 years of experience, he blends academic rigor—supervised by notable vision labs—with industry research that produced an ICCV paper on digital twin reconstruction during his tenure at Meta. Cheng contributes to open-source radiance field tooling (e.g., refactoring core logic in the DirectVoxGO repo), demonstrating hands-on expertise in voxel-based NeRF implementations and model engineering. His recent focus on scene modeling and 3D geometry reflects a practical drive to bridge fast reconstruction techniques with real-world capture pipelines. Based in Taipei, he brings both experimental depth and production-oriented back-end skills to multidisciplinary teams. An often-overlooked strength is his dual fluency in research and implementation, enabling rapid iteration from prototype to reproducible code.

Direct voxel grid optimization for fast radiance field reconstruction.
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer & ML Engineer
Contributions:100 commits, 29 pushes, 33 comments in 8 months
Contributions summary:Cheng refactored and tested core codes within the `lib/dvgo.py` file, a key component of the DirectVoxGO framework. These changes indicate the user's engagement with the underlying implementation of the radiance field reconstruction. The user also added configurations suggesting involvement in model development or experiments. This points to a role focused on both the back-end logic and potentially model-related tasks for the fast radiance field reconstruction.
