Keynote Speakers

Jehee Lee

Seoul National University
South Korea

Jehee Lee is a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Seoul National University. His research interests are in the areas of computer graphics, animation, biomechanics, and robotics. He is particularly interested in developing new ways of understanding, representing, planning, and simulating human and animal movements. This involves anatomical human modeling and simulation, biped control, clinical gait analysis, data-driven and physically based techniques, deep learning, and creating virtual humans. He chaired the Technical Papers Program of SIGGRAPH Asia 2022. He co-chaired Pacific Graphics in 2019, ACM SIGGRAPH conference on Motion, Interaction and Games (MIG) in 2018, and ACM/EG Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA) in 2012. He also served on numerous program committees, including ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM SIGGRAPH Asia, Eurographics, ACM/EG Symposium on Computer Animation, Pacific Graphics, CGI, and CASA. He served as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. He is leading SNU Movement Research Lab.

Gerard Pons-Moll

University of Tübingen
Germany

Gerard Pons-Moll is a Professor at the University of Tübingen endowed by the Carl Zeiss Foundation, at the department of Computer Science. He is also core faculty at the Tübingen AI Center and head of the Emmy Noether independent research group "Real Virtual Humans", senior researcher at the Max Planck for Informatics (MPII) in Saarbrücken, Germany, and faculty at the IMPRS-IS (International Max Planck Research School - Intelligent Systems in Tübingen) and faculty at Saarland Informatics Campus. His research lies at the intersection of computer vision, computer graphics and machine learning -- with special focus on analyzing people in videos, and creating virtual human models by "looking" at real ones. His research has produced some of the most advanced statistical human body models of pose, shape, soft-tissue and clothing (which are currently used for a number of applications in industry and research), as well as algorithms to track and reconstruct 3D people models from images, video, depth, and IMUs.

Xubo Yang

Shanghai Jiao Tong University
China

Xubo Yang is a Professor for Virtual/Augmented Reality and Computer Graphics at the School of Software at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He leads the Digital ART(Augmented Reality Tech) Laboratory. He received a Ph.D. (1998) in Computer Graphics at the State Key Lab of CAD & CG of Zhejiang University. From 1998 to 2001, he was a research scientist at the Virtual Environment Group of Fraunhofer Institute for Media Communication in Germany. From 2001 to 2003, Xubo worked as a research fellow at the Mixed Reality Lab of National University of Singapore.  During 2012 to 2013, he worked as a visiting professor at the Department of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Xubo’s research interests include next-generation media art computing technologies in the context of virtual reality, augmented reality, computer graphics and novel interactive techniques. He has published many peer-reviewed papers in the field of computer graphics, virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality.
