Senior๐
Top SchoolYang Chen is a PhD researcher and software engineer specializing in material appearance modeling and high-performance physically-based rendering, with 11 years of engineering experience. At TU Delft he built and maintained an 85k+ LOC codebase in Rust, C++, Python and CUDA, developing microfacet BRDF models, a high-throughput BRDF capture pipeline, WGPU-based real-time visualizers, and a distributed ray-tracing framework that scales across machines. His strengths combine low-level systems programming, GPGPU optimization and numerical methods with practical tooling for interactive analysis and large-scale data processing. Beyond graphics he has applied these skills to medical imaging, computer vision, and underwater robotics, often implementing real-time simulators and hardware-in-the-loop systems. Fluent in multiple languages and engines (Unity/Unreal), he brings a rare mix of research rigor and production-grade software engineering focused on performance and scalability.
