PhD Student at MBZUAI
Offline Rendering · Appearance Modelling · Real-time Rendering
Hello! My name is Youyang Du (pronounced “You Young, Do”). I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Shandong University, where during MS I was supervised by Prof. Lu Wang. I am currently a PhD student at MBZUAI, under the supervision of Prof. Lingqi Yan.
My research interests include Offline Rendering, Appearance Modelling, and Real-time Rendering.

Obtaining 3D faces with microscopic structures from a single unconstrained image is challenging. The complexities of wrinkles and pores at a microscopic level, coupled with the blurriness of the input image, raise the difficulty. However, the distribution of wrinkles and pores tends to follow a specialized...
Recovering high-fidelity spatially varying bidirectional reflectance distribution function (SVBRDF) maps from a single image remains an ill-posed and challenging problem, especially in the presence of saturated highlights. Existing methods often fail to reconstruct the underlying texture in regions overwhelmed by intense specular reflections. This kind of...
