Summary
Xingyi Du is a senior researcher and Ph.D. candidate in computer science at Washington University in St. Louis with a decade of experience bridging mathematical foundations and practical algorithms for computer graphics and 3D geometry. She has pioneered numerical optimization techniques to produce high-quality one-to-one shape mappings and invented constructive multi-implicit representations for piecewise-smooth solids, work recognized with multiple SIGGRAPH and SIGGRAPH Asia publications. At Tencent Americas and during internships at Adobe and MEGVII she turned research prototypes into robust, efficient software—whether meshing networks of implicit surfaces or interactive 3D modeling tools—demonstrating an uncommon focus on both theory and engineering. Her background combines materials science and software engineering from Tsinghua with advanced graphics research, enabling cross-disciplinary insight into shape reconstruction, AR/VR, animation, and manufacturing. Colleagues describe her work as enabling intuitive editing and reliable extraction of complex implicit structures, a capability that meaningfully improves 3D content pipelines.
