Welcome to AlbertLiDesign. This is a blog for random braindumps on my programming adventures, graphics and design research, some of my more serious writings and other interesting things.

About Me

I'm a prospective PhD student in RMIT. My research invovles the intersection of architectural design and computer graphics, especially in mesh algorithms. I am interested in understanding both the theoretical properties and implements of these problems, as well as experimental results from real architectural applications.

My current goal is to develop fast geometric processing library and a topology optimization program to improve the possibility of applying BESO algorithm to actual architectural design.

Experiences

Studied in Tianjin University

Bachelor of Art, Environmental Design, School of Architecture (2014 – 2018)

Worked for Heroes Architects & Engineers Co., Ltd.

Intern Architect (2016 - 2017)

• Participated in making an animation of research and development project about a high-rise fire-fighting robot.
• Working about rendering and animation using Grasshopper and Lumion.

Worked for XIE Archi-Structure Design (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Assistant Research & Development Engineer, XIE Design Lab (2018 – 2019)

• Participated in Ameba development project. Ameba is a software based on the Bi-directional Evolutionary Structural Optimization (BESO) technique originally proposed by Professor Yi-Min (Mike) Xie. The user may, according to design requirements, apply different loading and boundary conditions to the initial design domain. During the computational process by the software, the design domain will evolve and eventually reach an organic form that is structurally efficient;

• Developed plenty of mesh optimization functions. As a system of Ameba's post-process, it is efficient to provide a complete set of solutions for optimizing results of topology optimization.

Will Study in RMIT

Prospective PhD student, Civil Engineering, School of Engineering (2020 – )
Senior Supervisor Yimin Xie, Associate Supervisor Roland Snooks

BTW I have been waiting for my PhD visa for more than 8 months, but no result or response.
