Overview

Yingying Wang is an Assistant Professor at Computing And Software department of McMaster University. Her research interest is mainly in Character Animation, Computer Graphics and Machine Learning.

She dedicates her research effort to modeling diverse, personalized and expressive motions for digital humans through motion capture, synthesis and perception. Specifically Yingying is interested in modelling human motions with personal styles for different demographic groups, covering various ages, genders, and race groups etc. Before joining McMaster University, Yingying obtained her Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of California, Davis in 2017. After Ph.D., Yingying was a researcher at Snap Inc., focusing on novel animation research and applications for mobile devices. Yingying worked on gesture synthesis, hand motion capture, motion style transfer, motion retrieval and 3D human pose estimation, which leads to multiple paper and patent publications. Yingying is also an active contributor to several open-source projects.
