Romrawin (Jin) Chumpu

I'm a PhD student in Computer Science at NUS Computing and the Singapore International Graduate Award (SINGA) 🦁 with A*STAR, (I'm the luckiest student to be) supervised by Jane E at the palette lab 🎨 and Fayao Liu at A*STAR Institute of Advanced Intelligence and Computing (IAIC) 🤖.

My research interests now span physics-based 3D generation and animation. I focus on developing physics-based learning systems for realistic motion and interaction, while designing tools that better support animators.

My alter ego is an all-rounded artist 🎨 (professional in fine arts). I love to do art in all forms, from traditional painting/crafting to 3D digital art.
