Research Interests
Many problems in computer graphics and computer vision are closely related to
physics, and optics in particular. Until this day, most applications
in these fields have relied on strongly simplifying assumptions about the
physical nature of light, and its interaction with the real world. However, when
these assumptions do not hold, their performance can no longer be relied upon. My research
strives to introduce more realistic physical models, achieving results of
unprecedented quality in applications as diverse as 3D scanning, photorealistic
rendering (offline and real-time), and display technology.
