07/2024 - Current Physics Engineer
Epic Games - Working on the Chaos Flesh project in Unreal Engine for physics-based soft body/human soft tissue simulations.
-
06/2021 - 06/2024 Research Intern
Epic Games - Devised a novel neural network pipeline for real-time (1000X faster than simulation) character rig corrections for improving metaverse realism on human muscle contractions/interactions, volume preservation, and collisions.
- Implemented multi-layer FEM human soft tissue simulation and biomechanics-based muscle activation solvers.
- Proposed a novel muscle contraction constitutive model and decoupled passive/active networks for skin deformations.
- Developed an analytic real-time (90 fps) spring model for adding secondary physics dynamics, e.g., inertia.
- Implemented game engine physics solvers (to be released under Chaos Flesh framework, Unreal Engine 5.5).
