Starting this fall, I will be joining the faculty of Computer Science Department at Columbia University. This webpage has been outdated. If your browser doesn't automatically redirect within a few seconds, you way want to click my new webpage.

Hello, this is Changxi Zheng's web page. I'm a PhD student in the department of Computer Science at Cornell University. Before that, I received a bachelor degree from Shanghai Jiaotong University in China, and then spent some time at Microsoft Research Asia.

My research interests focus on computer graphics and scientific computing. I'm especially interested in developing fast and robust algorithms for computer animations and physically based simulations. Under the expert advice of my advisor Doug James, I'm currently working on physically based sound rendering for computer graphics. I'm also interested in Applied Math as my minor. John Guckenheimer is my minor advisor.
Besides that, I'm also interested in robotics and network systems. My previous work had been in peer-to-peer networks, distributed multimedia streaming and internet rounting algorithms.
