Hongchuan Yu currently works as a Principal Academic in computer graphics and animation in National Centre for Computer Animation. He coordinated units, including Foundation of Computer Science (Level UG), Computing for Graphics & Animation C++ (Level UG), Personal Inquiry (level PG) and Numerical optimization methods (level PG). Prior to this appointment Dr Yu worked as a research fellow with School of Computer Science & Software Engineering, The University of Western Australia (Perth), and School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), and Dept. of Computer Science, Tsinghua University (Beijing). Dr Yu’s research interests include computer vision, visualization, computer graphics and animation. Recent works mainly focus on Deep Learning Techniques with applications to graphics and animation. He has published more than 80 peer-reviewed papers on Journals and International academic conferences. The distinctive achievement is that he led the international collaboration project (with The University of HongKong, China) and published the research paper in Top Conference-SIGGRAPH 2016, which is the first SIGGRAPH paper led by NCCA academic. Besides, Dr Yu secured multiple external research grants and regularly served as PC members/referees for academic journals and international conferences. He is also a Fellow of Higher Education Academy UK (FHEA).

Research

Project 1. Foldover-free Surface Parameterization: Application to Texture Mapping, (http://vision.csie.ncku.edu.tw/~ichenyeh/homepage/publication/2012_TVCG/) Application to High Dimensional Dataset, (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1532046413002025)

Project 2: Discrete geodesics on Meshes

The main contribution is to approximate to the limit of running time for continuous Dijkstra style methods, i.e. O(n^1.5). http://i.cs.hku.hk/~xghan/Projects/VTP.htm
