We are looking for Master Thesis students to work on our team and go deep in specified or chosen problem spaces. For this current hiring cycle, we are looking for you who is interested in exploring Advanced Radiance Caching Techniques for Global Illumination and/or Glossy reflections in Real-Time Rendering. 

Project Overview:

Global illumination (GI) is critical for achieving realistic lighting in computer graphics. However, the computational cost of accurate GI remains a significant challenge, especially in real-time applications. This thesis project aims to explore and develop advanced radiance caching techniques to enhance the performance and quality of global illumination and related techniques in real-time rendering.

Several caching methods have been proposed, both AI driven and algorithmical. We are aiming to investigate how these techniques can enhance our existing tech, Global Illumination Based on Surfels (GIBS) and pave a new way forward for future research.

We are of course open to suggestions on thesis projects, in case the applicant has a topic in mind we’d be happy to hear about it!

Requirements 

• You are pursuing a MsC. in Computer Science or a related field in Sweden.
• Strong background in computer graphics, with a focus on rendering techniques.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as C++ and shader languages (e.g., GLSL, HLSL).
• Familiarity with rendering engines and graphics APIs (e.g., OpenGL, DirectX, Vulkan).
• Solid understanding of global illumination and radiance caching concepts.
• Knowledge of ray tracing and how it works
• Experience with GPU programming and parallel computing is a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Understanding of linear algebra
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.

This internship is unpaid and temporary employment. It needs to be associated with a university education or any other type of education that has an internship period planned into the education plan, for example LiA. We are not able to provide relocation services for this role, so we will only consider candidates already residing in Sweden.

We look forward to receiving your application!
