Faculty of Information Science and Technology Division of System and Informatics
My name is Wang Xu. I am currently a Specially Appointed Assistant Professor in the Intelligent Robots and Systems Laboratory at Hokkaido University. I obtained my Ph.D. in Informatics from the University of Tsukuba, where I was advised by Professors Makoto Fujisawa and Masahiko Mikawa. My research interests encompass physics-based simulation, image processing, style transfer, and various other topics related to computer graphics.

XProtoSphere: an eXtended multi-sized sphere packing algorithm driven by particle size distribution
Xu Wang, Makoto Fujisawa, Masahiko Mikawa
The Visual Computer 2023
We propose a novel PSD-driven technique that extends the ProtoSphere algorithm to achieve multi-sized sphere packing with distribution-specific characteristics, as dictated by a pre-defined cumulative distribution function. Our method improves the controllability and flexibility of the packing process, enabling users to generate packing configurations that meet their specific requirements.

Visual Simulation of Soil-Structure Destruction with Seepage Flows
Xu Wang, Makoto Fujisawa, Masahiko Mikawa
Proceedings of the ACM on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques 2021
This paper introduces a method for simulating soil-structure coupling with water, involving visual effects such as wet granular materials, seepage flows, capillary action between grains, and dam breaking simulation.
