Chengguizi Han
a.k.a. Laurel Han, 韩程桂子
I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Rutgers University advised by Prof. Mridul Aanjaneya, as a member of LIVE (Laboratory for Interactive Virtual Environments). I graduated with a BS in Computer Science and a minor in Entrepreneurship from Rutgers University in 2019. I'm interested in computer graphics and physics-based simulations.
Besides work, I am playing around with Godot and Blender to create mini games. My mission, is to create interactive digital environments that heal and empower people, especially for those who are disadvantaged. I would love to hear about any tech or art-related projects that aim to generate positive social impact.

My Name
My Chinese name is "韩程桂子," pronounced as "Han Cheng Gui Zi." "韩" is my surname, equivalent to "Han" in English. "程 (Cheng)" means "journey" or "path." "桂子 (Gui Zi)" is a poetic way of saying "桂花 (Osmanthus flower)."
But there's more to the story than literal meanings. "程" is the surname of my beloved and respected mother and grandfather, and "桂" is the surname of my adorable grandmother. So, "子" signifies that I am the beloved child of everyone in my family.
There is also a beautiful coincidence: the osmanthus tree in front of our old house blossomed for the first time in the autumn after the summer I was born.
