Ph.D. Candidate, The University of Hong Kong

I am a third-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) at The University of Hong Kong (HKU). I am currently conducting research in the Computational Imaging & Mixed Representation Laboratory (WeLight@HKU), led by Prof. Yifan (Evan) Peng.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Physics, with a minor in Computer Science, from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), under the supervision of Prof. Ligang Liu. I then pursued a master’s degree in Computer Science at HKU. In addition, I gained research experience as a Research Assistant at Purdue University, working with Prof. Bedrich Benes, and as a visiting researcher at UC Berkeley, hosted by Prof. Brian Barsky.

My research interests include computational holography, optics, computer graphics, and virtual/augmented reality.

Title

Deep Learning-aided Computer-Generated Holography

Abstract：

Holographic techniques have gained growing attention as a promising foundation for next-generation display systems in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Achieving photorealistic three-dimensional visual content is essential for enhancing perceptual realism and user immersion. Nevertheless, prevailing computer-generated holography (CGH) approaches in these contexts remain limited by insufficient computational efficiency, high data throughput requirements, and incomplete reproduction of key depth cues. This manuscript reviews recent advances in deep learning–enabled holographic display technologies aimed at addressing these fundamental constraints.
