About Me

Hello! I’m Zhaofeng Luo, a first-year PhD student at the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. Minchen Li.

Academic Interests

I am currently focused on physics-based simulation for robotics, with particular interest in narrowing the sim2real gap. I aim to develop simulation methods that can better predict real-world robotic behaviors, enabling more effective sim-to-real transfer for robotic manipulation and control tasks.

News

Our paper "VR-Doh: Hands-on 3D Modeling in Virtual Reality" has been accepted to SIGGRAPH 2025 and selected as a Top 10 Technical Papers Fast Forward! Check out the project page.

Check out my recent GPU solid simulation tutorial code here and the corresponding course material here.

Hobbies

Beyond academics, I have a keen interest in sports, particularly tennis. I served as the captain of the School of EECS tennis team, where we made numerous victories togeter. I’m also the president of the Peking University Student Tennis Association, where I’ve organized several tennis tournaments and classes.
