Yuji Yang

Hi! I am a passionate and self-motivated researcher. Currently, I am working as a research assistant at the RAPID Lab of Sun Yat-sen University. Previously, I was a game developer at NetEase Games. I received my master degree at Sun Yat-sen University, advised by Prof. Hui Cheng.

Interests

3D Reconstruction
(Differentiable) Physical Simulation
Sim-to-Real (Robotics)

My dream is to conduct interesting and valuable research that closes the gap between virtual reality and physical reality.

I am currently seeking research assistant or Ph.D. opportunities for the 2025 academic year.

Projects

Elasticity Simulation

A Finite Element Method (FEM) implemented in Taichi Lang that supports both 2D and 3D simulations. The FEM implementation includes support for both explicit and implicit integer methods. Have fun!

Code

Fluid Simulation

Implemented multiple fluid simulators (WCSPH, IISPH, etc.), as well as one-way and two-way fluid-solid coupling.
