Summary
Yiwen Chen is a PhD candidate at Nanyang Technological University specializing in 3D AIGC with six years of research experience developing state-of-the-art generative models. Based in Singapore and affiliated with NTU's S-Lab, Yiwen has driven high-impact open-source projects—MeshAnything (ICLR 2024) and MeshAnything V2 (ICCV 2025)—that together garnered thousands of GitHub stars and broad community adoption. Their internships at Shanghai AI Lab, Sheng Shu, and Math Magic produced practical advances in autoregressive mesh generation and a commercial-quality 3D generator (Hitem3D / Ultra3D), bridging cutting-edge research with product-ready systems. Known for ultra-fine geometric detail in generated meshes, Yiwen combines deep academic rigor with a knack for shipping widely used tooling and reproducible research.
