Toby Chong

I am a principle research at TOEI Zukun Research. We focus on creating stylized and production ready character facial animation and we are always looking for eager interns and research labs for potential collaborations. Besides, we also provide extremely high quality character facial capture/animation service for both industry and academia, as well as light-stage based 3D scanning. Please get in touch if you are interested.

I received my MSc in Creative Informatics working with Takeo Igarashi and BEng in Electrical Engineering working with Koji Yatani, both from the University of Tokyo.

Outside academia, I interned at Adobe Research, working with Valentina Shin and Deepali Aneja.

CV (pdf, google drive).

Besides working, I enjoy science-based contents about cooking, training and investing.
