Rulin CHEN

Welcome to my website! I am currently an Assistant Professor at the School of Culture and Creativity, BNBU. My research lies at the unique intersection of computer graphics and physical art/design, where I develop computational tools for the automatic design of intriguing and functional, fabricable objects, such as puzzles, architectural structures, and furniture. My work has been published in top venues in computer graphics, including SIGGRAPH, TOG, and TVCG. My Ph.D. thesis was nominated to SUTD Best Ph.D. Thesis Award and I received SIGGRAPH 2022 Best Paper Honorable Mention Award. I am always open to collaborations with researchers from diverse backgrounds. If you’re interested or share similar research interests, feel free to drop me an email!

Prior to joining BNBU, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Computer Graphics Laboratory, Singapore University of Technology and Design, under the supervision of Prof. Peng Song, where I also received my doctoral degree in 2024. Prior to that, I earned my bachelor’s degree from Shantou University in 2020, supervised by Prof. Chuliang Wei. During 2019 to 2020, I was a research intern at CUHKSZ under the supervision of Prof. Zhenglong Sun.
