Yan Zhuang's Research Activities

My research interests include (but not limited to) real-time simulation and animation of physically realistic global deformation of 3D objects, geometric algorithms for parts design and manipulations, MEMS, and various aspects of computer graphics, robotics and automations.

• Real-time simulation and animation of 3D global deformation

        By global deformation we mean deformations that involve the entire body, in contrast to the local deformation such as squeezing and poking.

	Demonstrates the collision, bouncing, sliding, resting and large rotation.

• Geometric model simplification.
• Fixturing on the WWW (a Java applet for interactive modification of parts, constrained by pre-existing fixturing setup)
• Rendering of structures for diverse lighting condition (CS280 class project)
• Surface intersection (CS284 class project)
• Simulation of MEMS (CS287 class project)
