Victor Chu

About: I am a PhD student in the Dynamic Graphics Project (DGP) at the University of Toronto advised by David Lindell, Kyros Kutulakos, and Aviad Levis. I am broadly interested in computer vision and graphics, with an emphasis on computational imaging and displays. I’m particularly excited about creating perception systems that offer a richer, more precise understanding of the world.

Previously, I received my BA and MSE in CS from Princeton University where I was part of the Princeton Computational Imaging Lab led by Felix Heide.

Artifact-Resilient Real-Time Holography
Victor Chu, Oscar Pueyo-Ciutad, Ethan Tseng, Florian Schiffers, Grace Kuo, Nathan Matsuda, Albert Redo-Sanchez, Douglas Lanman, Oliver Cossairt, Felix Heide
ACM Transactions on Graphics (Proc. SIGGRAPH Asia 2025)

Introduces the Rayleigh Distance, a metric quantifying phase randomness, to generate artifact-resilient holograms in optimization-based methods, such as training real-time, artifact-resilient phase retrieval networks.

Full-Color Single-Shot Holography
Victor Chu
Advised by Praneeth Chakravarthula, Felix Heide
Undergraduate Senior Thesis, 2023 (Outstanding Computer Science Senior Thesis Award)

Novel method for full-color single-shot holography to reconstruct full-color holograms with a single phase pattern. Results are validated in both simulation and experiment.
