Xinge Yang (杨辛格)
I am a Ph.D. student at KAUST Computational Imaging Group, working with Prof. Wolfgang Heidrich. My research interests include deep learning for optical design, computational cameras, and optics-aware computational photography.
I maintain an awesome differentiable ray tracer DeepLens. It can do differentiable simulation of camera lens captures and optimize the optics. Feel free to drop me an email if you are interested!

Miscs
More about me: I like cats, photography, new techs, and most sports (especially basketball and water sports). I lived in China, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and the US, and want to live in different places to experience the lifestyle of local people. I enjoy adventures and challenges. I love my life.
Peer review statement: I am pleased to be invited for peer review in my research field. I will try my best to complete the review within two weeks. I apply the same high standards to every paper, aiming for the utmost potential of the topic. However, I do not expect the authors to address every suggestion I make and leave the final judgment to the associate editor.
