Jingwang Ling

Hi! I’m a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), specializing in computer graphics and vision. I am advised by Prof. Shuang Zhao. I received my bachelor’s degree from School of Software, Tsinghua University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Feng Xu.

Research

My research focuses on digitalizing the 3D world from images through physics-based inverse rendering. To achieve this, I integrate three key components: accurate physics-based rendering models to ensure physical correctness, generative priors to introduce data-driven regularization, and real-world measurements to anchor reconstruction in observation.
