This Candidate Is Expected To
- Conduct original research in computer graphics and AI-related areas (e.g., real-time 3D reconstruction, neural rendering, differentiable rendering, inverse rendering, neural radiance fields/3D Gaussian splatting, learning-based denoising/super-resolution, AI-assisted rendering pipelines), from conceptualization through implementation and evaluation.
- Identify state-of-the-art (SOTA) techniques by performing systematic literature reviews and benchmarking existing methods to inspire new ideas.
- Write research papers and publish findings in top-tier graphics/vision / ML venues (e.g., SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia, EGSR, TOG, TVCG, CVPR/ICCV/ECCV, NeurIPS/ICLR as appropriate).
- Deep understanding of computer graphics fundamentals (rendering pipeline, ray tracing, sampling/denoising, geometry/BRDF, reconstruction) and solid ML foundations.
- Strong programming skills, with hands-on experience in Python PyTorch and ability to build reproducible research code.
- Proven experience in conducting original research, with at least one publication in a peer-reviewed conference/journal (graphics/vision/ML preferred).
- Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively within a team.
- PhD student in Computer Science / Computer Graphics / Computer Vision / Machine Learning or a related field.
- Experience with NeRF / 3DGS / SLAM / multi-view stereo / implicit representations.
