Open positions

PhD positions

We are always looking for talented PhD candidates in different areas related to sampling, rendering, machine learning:
1) Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo (MCQMC) sampling for rendering algorithms and machine learning
2) characterization and synthesis of correlations for content creation in virtual worlds,
3) understanding of hidden structures/details in noisy point clouds.
4) Haptic rendering and volumetric fabrication
Strong mathematical background is a must. Practical knowledge of machine learning is valuable. If you are interested, please contact me with your CV attached.

Internship positions

From time to time, we roll out few internship opportunities (6 months or more) in many different areas. Preference will be given to (Master level) students who would like to develop their ideas towards a PhD. Please contact me directly if you are interested.
