      PhD Position "Optimising 3D Light Transport" at Delft University
      of Technology


      Job description

Controlling light in an environment is a difficult task, since many 
aspects such as materials, light sources, and arrangement have to be 
considered. The main objective of our work is to produce novel, 
interactive solutions for high-performance light transport computations 
and accompanying visual analysis. We will investigate practical aspects, 
such as efficient ray-tracing solutions, and search for a theoretical 
understanding of the underlying methodologies to derive controllable 
tradeoffs between accuracy and performance. To this extent, we will 
address the problem from various angles. First, we opt for new 
hierarchical approaches and alternative representations for visibility 
and transport queries. We recently presented compact and compressed 
scene representations and intend to adapt their use to light transport. 
Here, we will also focus on alternative representations of material 
properties, which are a key ingredient for an efficient and accurate 
multi-scale light transport. Secondly, we intend to explore efficient 
use of multi-core environments and progressive rendering solutions. The 
candidate will have access to a dedicated computer cluster environment. 
Third, we want to build upon recent signal reconstruction techniques to 
minimise the computational cost of the overall process. Finally, we will 
develop specialised techniques to support light transport analysis and 
facilitate scene setups.


      Requirements

We are looking for a candidate who meets the following requirements:
• You are a talented and enthusiastic researcher.
• You have experience with or a strong background in computer graphics, 
high-performance computing, and image processing.
• Preferably you have a Master degree in Computer Science, (Applied) 
Mathematics, (Applied) Physics or Electrical Engineering.
• You have excellent programming skills and experience (e.g. C++, OpenGL).
• You have good communication skills and the attitude to participate 
successfully in the work of a multidisciplinary research team.
• You are creative, ambitious, hardworking and persistent.
• You have a good command of the English language (knowledge of Dutch is 
not required).


      Application

In all correspondences, please refer to the vacancy number EWI2016.20.
