Chi-Wing FU

Chi-Wing FU, Philip is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). He holds dual roles in research and education, including Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications. His research focuses on computer graphics, 3D vision, and human-computer interaction, with over 100 publications in top venues like SIGGRAPH, CVPR, and IEEE Visualization.

Education:

• B.Sc. (1st Hons), Computer Science & Engineering, CUHK
• M.Phil., Computer Science & Engineering, CUHK
• PhD, Indiana University, Bloomington

Research Interests: Dr. Fu's work spans 3D shape generation, computational LEGO design, AR visualization, and robotic interaction. He has pioneered projects like Make-A-Shape (large-scale 3D modeling) and DreamStone (text-driven 3D creation). His team also develops tools for medical data visualization and hand-object pose estimation.

Recent Trends in Articles: Recent work emphasizes AI-driven creativity (e.g., LEGO art, text-to-3D systems) and real-time AR applications. His publications often bridge theory (e.g., generative models) with practical systems (e.g., user interfaces for design).

Awards:

• Postgraduate Research Output Award (2023)
• MSRA Fellowship Nomination (2022)
• Best Associate Editor (IEEE CG&A)
• Outstanding Reviewer (ICCV 2021, CCF CAD/CG 2023)

Advising & Grants: Supervised over 40 PhD/Master students and postdocs. Active in securing grants for projects like computational LEGO design (with Autodesk), medical AR visualization, and 3D generative AI. Collaborates with industry partners like Adobe and Huawei.

Labs & Teams: Leads the Computational Design and Visualization Lab, focusing on 3D systems, robotics, and creative AI. Key projects include the LEGO Sketch Art toolchain and the HandShadowPoser AR system.
