Selena Ling 凌子涵

I am a final year PhD student at University of Toronto's DGP advised by Alec Jacobson. I'm also affliated with the Vector Institute. Before I obtained my MS in Computer Science at Brown University while I worked with James Tompkin and Daniel Ritchie and spent my undergraduate years at Middlebury College in Vermont.

In the past, I interned at NVIDIA Toronto AI Lab from 2024 to 2025, and Adobe Research, Seattle during 2025 fall and 2023 summer. My research is also supported by DSI PhD Fellowship.

Besides research, I helped organizing Toronto Graphics Seminar, Toronto Geometry Colloquium and the first Toronto Geometry and Architecture Workshop.

Research

I am interested in improving optimization techniques in geometry processing, computer graphics and computer vision, and building tools that can help with artistic creations.

Misc.

I wrote my undergraduate mathematics thesis investigating Coefficient Formula while advised by John Schmitt. I also participated in a few architecture design projects and an animation film production.
