I started to maintain a list of homepages of graphics academics who I think did cool work, are younger than me, and are not my current/past students. It's a living list so if I read any cool papers I'll add the authors to the list. I encourage you to do the same!

Check out Xuan's work on a new programming language for writing modular and high-performance physical simulation code from energy definition. The key is two differentiable relational operators (join/union) that model the sparsity structure between the attributes and energy.
This is inspired by an initiative I saw somewhere that we should go back to the "old web" where people maintain links to other websites in their own homepages. I asked ChatGPT to provide a list of young graphics academics and none of these people showed up, so it's probably useful information.

Check out the slides of my recent internal talk about abstraction in CS research. Apart from some propaganda of our recent works, the key message is that "abstraction doesn’t, and
shouldn’t replace friction" (a corollary of Spolsky's "law of leaky abstraction").
