Biography
Minchen is an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, having joined in September 2023 after leaving his role as an assistant adjunct professor at UCLA Department of Mathematics, MultiPLES Lab. He was a postdoctoral researcher in the SIG Center for Computer Graphics at the University of Pennsylvania after completing his Ph.D. in the same group, advised by Chenfanfu Jiang. Minchen is a winner of the 2021 ACM SIGGRAPH Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award, the 2021 Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA) Doctoral Dissertation Award, and the 2020 Adobe Research Fellowship. His Ph.D. dissertation features the Incremental Potential Contact (IPC) method, which "presents a breakthrough in the notoriously challenging and long-standing problem of robust frictional contact simulation in nonlinear solid dynamics with guarantees of non-intersection" and has led to a series of follow-up works in both academia and industry. Minchen had four successive internships at Adobe Research. He received his M.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of British Columbia in 2018, advised by Alla Sheffer.
