About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher in Junqiu Zhu's group at Shandong University. My research focuses on photorealistic rendering, including appearance modeling for complex multi-scale materials (human skin, hair, fur, scales, feathers, cosmetics, clothes, and granular materials), light transport simulation algorithms and data-driven representations. I am also interested in inverse rendering, differentiable rendering and 3D reconstruction.

I completed my PhD dissertation, Modeling and Rendering of Multiscale Materials, at the Graphics and Imaging Lab, Universidad de Zaragoza. I was a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow of the EU Project PRIME, advised by Adolfo Muñoz and Adrian Jarabo. I hold an M.Sc. in Informatics from the Technical University of Munich with a major in Graphics and Vision, and a B.Sc. in Computer Science from the Universidad Central de Venezuela with a major in Computer Graphics.

Vulkan Path Tracer Engine

2020, Nov 08    

The project goal is creating a sandbox to experiment with physically-based rendering algorithms based on the ray tracing system. The sandbox consists of predefined environments with scenes including assets such as: geometry, materials, light sources and textures. The implementation is based on the Vulkan pipeline and it has been tested on a Geforce GTX 1060 and GeForce RTX 2070. More details about the foundations can be found in the amazing PBR book.
