Jipeng Sun

Jipeng Sun is currently conducting computational imaging research at Princeton Computational Imaging Lab advised by Prof. Felix Heide as a Ph.D student. Previously he was a Ph.D student at Northwestern Computational Photography Lab co-advised by Prof. Oliver Cossairt and Prof. Jack Tumblin. He initiated and taught COMP_SCI 396 VR/AR Systems as a course instructor in Northwestern University. (Why does Jipeng care about computational imaging?)

The great research/products in Jipeng's eyes are research/products that help humans become a better species. He envisions a new form of near-eye smart device which expands the bandwidth for humans' perception, information collection, information processing, and decision making. To enable such devices, the key infrastructure is to have perception sensors that surpass human eyes and displays that satisfy human eyes, both in a glass-size compact form factor. These inevitably lead Jipeng to his current research on computational flat nano-optics.

Jipeng also used to work as embodied intelligence research engineer at Research Center for Brain-inspired Intelligence, CASIA (Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences) during 2019-2021 advised by Prof. Yi Zeng. He is also the founding director of Sharing Tech Ltd., a 176-people tech organization developing AI-assisted education systems.
