About Me
Hi, I’m Heejo Jeong. I graduated with an M.S. in Computer Graphics from Korea University,
specializing in physics-based animation, and along the way I developed a passion for real-time graphics.
I’m now looking for a Ph.D. program where I can help push the boundaries of realistic,
interactive visual computing.
You can find more details about my academic background and experience in my CV.

Projects
A neural network is inserted into the XPBD physics engine so it can learn realistic soft-body behaviour (like rubber or flesh) from just a few example motions, replacing tedious hand-tuned material formulas.
A 2-D stable-fluid solver originally prototyped for an LG Electronics project on real-time air-conditioning airflow visualization in the metaverse. Implemented in Taichi for GPU-accelerated Conjugate gradient method
