Tianxin Tao

I am an AI engineer at Electronic Arts. I obtained my Master degree in computer science at University of British Columbia supervised by Prof. Michiel van de Panne, where I work on character animation and reinforcement learning. I previously interned at Huawei 2012 Lab working on motion style transfer. I am broadly interested in computer graphics, machine learning and robotics. In my spare time, I enjoy riding mountain bikes and skiing.
