About

Hello! I’m Yifang (Also go by Evan) 👋

I’m a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of Toronto, working with Prof. Karan Singh in the Dynamic Graphics Project (DGP). My research focuses on facial animation, with a particular passion for making digital characters more expressive and lifelike. I’m interested in adding controllability to procedural animation tools, to give artists greater control over powerful generative tools.

Current Interests: facial animations, voice driven animation, animation authoring, controllability of generative models

I’m always excited to discuss research, animation, longboarding, or any intersection of technology and creativity. Feel free to reach out!
