I am a PhD student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University. My primary research interests include Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) Systems, Computer Networks, Wireless Sensing and Communications, Mobile and Wearable Computing. If you are seeking any form of academic cooperation, please feel free to email me at chen.guod@northeastern.edu.
At Northeastern University, Iโm fortunate to work as a member of Spatial Internet Research Group (SINRG) led by Professor Mallesham Dasari.

๐ก Research
I am going to explore the future of immersive media and do something cool to shape the future of communication! Currently, I mainly focus on AR/VR, 3D Mesh/Point Cloud compression, and spatial/volumetric video streaming. I am also interested in AI-based 3D content compression and streaming technologies.
๐ Open4D
Open4D: Open-source tools for 4D spatial data
Open4D is an open, research-driven platform for the representation, compression, processing, evaluation, and streaming of time-varying 4D geometry.
I initiated Open4D with my advisor, Professor Mallesham Dasari, building on my first paper TVMC. The project has since grown into a broader open-source initiative, supported by: $300K NSF funding
