Qi Sun

Qi Sun is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at New York University. His research focuses on perceptual computer graphics, generative models, neural representation, computational optics, and VR/AR. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stony Brook University in 2018. Prior to joining NYU, he was a research scientist at Adobe Research. His work has been recognized with several best paper and honorable mention awards at major conferences such as ACM SIGGRAPH, IEEE ISMAR, IEEE VR, IEEE VIS, and ACM SAP. Sun is also a visiting researcher at Google. His research group, the Immersive Computing Lab, invites prospective students and postdoctoral researchers to collaborate.

Qi Sun is a researcher at New York University with expertise in Computer Graphics, Visual Perception, Virtual Reality, and Augmented Reality. Their work focuses on advancing immersive technologies through perceptual insights and computational methods. Key contributions include developing foveated neural radiance fields for virtual reality, perceptually-guided foveation for light field displays, and techniques to reduce simulator sickness with perceptual camera control. Sun's research also explores the intersection of AI and AR, such as visualization of AI-assisted task guidance in AR and deep multi-depth panoramas for view synthesis. Their studies emphasize the role of human perception in optimizing virtual and physical reality interactions.
