School of Computing Clemson University Office: 315 McAdams Hall Email: yin5@clemson.edu |
I am an associate professor with School of Computing, Clemson University. Before joining Clemson, I was a faculty member at University of New Mexico. I received my Ph.D. from University of Texas at Dallas (with David Daniel fellowship). I am a recipient of the NSF CRII award (2015) and CAREER award (2019). My research aims to develop efficient and customized computing methods for challenging problems in Graphics, Simulation, Machine Learning, Vision, Visualization, Robotics, Medicine, and many other applied areas. My group always welcomes hardworking students. If you love math and programming and are interested in my research, drop me an email. |
in Mandarin if you put my first name first, which is a famous concept in traditional Chinese philosophy and also a key inspiration in my research and life.Recent Publications
