Shanghai | East China Normal Unversity, School of Software Engineering | Ph.D. student

Hi! I'm Hao Tian. I'm a graduate student of School of Software Engineering at East China Normal University, Shanghai, China. Currently, I'm working with Prof. Xinyu Zhang and Prof. Changbo Wang on Computer Graphics and Robotics. From March 2018 to March 2019, I was funded by China Scholarship Council (CSC) as a visiting scholar at University of Maryland at College Park and worked in GAMMA lab under the guidance of Prof. Dinesh Manocha. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Sofware Engineering Institute at East China Normal University. I'm interested in grasp planning and manipulation planning for dexterous hand, Computer Graphics, VR/AR, Human-Computer Interaction.
