About Me

Alisa Jung just finished her PhD with the computer graphics group at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Her thesis focused on getting the most out of a renderer under a given time constraint, with tools such as path guiding and regularization. Her research interests also include fluorescence and other spectral effects, materials and volumes. In 2023 she completed an internship with WētāFX working on path guiding and regularization in a production environment.
