We finally made V1.0.0 of our book on physics-based simulation freely available at phys-sim-book.github.io with github.com/phys-sim-book/…! This marks our commitment to make the theory and algorithms accessible to everyone. You are welcome to contribute at github.com/phys-sim-book/…!

I'm very happy to attend my 1st SGP and present an introduction to optimization time integration with Jiayi(Eris) Zhang

After living in Pittsburgh for almost one year, finally visited the incline view point.

Couldn't agree more!

Deeply honored to receive the ACM / EG Symposium on Computer Animation 2024 Early Career Researcher Award! My heartfelt thanks to all my collaborators, family, friends, and the SCA committee. Grateful beyond words!

We finally had our group photo!

Everything you love about generative models — now powered by real physics! Announcing the Genesis project — after a 24-month large-scale research collaboration involving over 20 research labs — a generative physics engine able to generate 4D dynamical worlds powered by a physics

We’re excited to share some updates on Genesis since its release: 1. We made a detailed report on benchmarking Genesis's speed and its comparison with other simulators (github.com/zhouxian/genes…) 2. We’ve launched a Discord channel and a WeChat group to foster communications

Just updated our solid simulation tutorial on GitHub with a new subspace simulation example! Excited to keep expanding it every year as I teach physics-based animation. github.com/phys-sim-book/…

🚀 [SIGGRAPH 2025] Thrilled to share StiffGIPC - our latest work advancing GPU IPC for stiff affine-deformable simulations! Another 2–10× speedup without sacrificing accuracy 💥 Huge shoutout to Kemeng Huang and all collaborators 🙌 youtu.be/3TBoTX2vag4?si…

Excited to share Michael's #SIGGRAPH 2025 paper: CK-MPM -- a compact-kernel material point method that achieves less numerical diffusion, faster performance, and smaller contact gaps, opening up new possibilities! youtu.be/hFzCQcp3LbE?si…
