• Dense, Interlocking-Free and Scalable Spectral Packing of Generic 3D Objects (SIGGRAPH 2023)
  Qiaodong Cui, Victor Rong, Desai Chen, Wojciech Matusik
  Helped develop a robust and efficent packing algorithm for irregular 3D shapes.

• New Additive Approximations for Shortest Paths and Cycles (ICALP 2022)
  Mingyang Deng, Yael Kirkpatrick, Victor Rong, Virginia Vassilevska Williams, Ziqian Zhong
  Generalized an additive approximation algorithm for shortest cycle in an undirected graph.

Projects

Various CS stuff I've done.

• Spheres
  What happens when you add spheres?
• Balloons
  Make balloons. Fly away.
• Stained Glass
  Differentiably rendering triangle soups to learn radiance fields for my 6.869 final project.
• Surface Reconstruction
  Solving the Poisson Surface Reconstruction problem with an FMM-like approach for my 6.335 final project.
• Pencil Sketching
  6.838 final project done with Eric Zhang. Real-time pencil rendering with triangle meshes and with signed distance fields.
• Competitive Programming
  Competitive programming done throughout high school. Also wrote several (57!) problems for online contests. Here are some of my favourites:
  • DMOPC '18 Contest 4 P6 - Dr. Henri and Resistor Chains
  • DMOPC '18 Contest 3 P5 - Bob and Physics Class
  • DMOPC '18 Contest 1 P6 - Sorting (all of the problems on this contest were called Sorting)
  • DMOPC '18 Contest 1 P4 - Sorting (all of the problems on this contest were called Sorting)
  • World Domination Fun
  • DMOPC '17 Contest 2 P5 - Game
  • GCC '16 P3 - Hang Gliding Fun (one of the first problems I wrote!)
