Junpeng Wang

Dr. Junpeng Wang is a Postdoctoral Researcher (since June 2023) in the Chair of Computer Graphics and Visualization at the Technical University of Munich, working under Prof. Rüdiger Westermann. Previously, he completed his PhD at the same institution from November 2018 to June 2023. His research focuses on lightweight structural design and optimization with geometry-based approaches, as well as scientific visualization of tensor and mesh data.

Wang's research interests span lightweight structural design, structural optimization, and scientific visualization. His work integrates computational mechanics with computer graphics to develop novel methods for stress analysis, lattice structure optimization, and 3D data visualization. His research has practical applications in mechanical engineering, additive manufacturing, and scientific data analysis.

His publication portfolio shows a strong trend toward integrating machine learning with traditional computational mechanics methods, particularly in the areas of 3D Gaussian Splatting and neural data structures. Wang has developed the 3D-TSV (3D Trajectory-based Stress Visualizer), a significant tool for exploring principal stress directions in 3D solids under load, which has been published in Advances in Engineering Software (2022).

Wang serves as a reviewer for prestigious journals including IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG), Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering (CMAME), Journal of Mechanical Design (JMD), Optics Express (OPTE), Computer-Aided Geometric Design (CAG), and Shape Modeling International Conference (SPM[C]).

His collaborative work primarily involves Prof. Rüdiger Westermann at TUM and Jun Wu at other institutions, demonstrating strong interdisciplinary connections between computer graphics and mechanical engineering research groups.
