SIGGRAPH 2012
Bruce Walter is a Research Associate at the Cornell Program of Computer Graphics. His current research interests are expanding the capabilities of physically-based rendering and global illumination algorithms with respect to robustness, scalability, and generality. He has published many related research papers at SIGGRAPH and elsewhere. He also served a project lead for trueSpace product at Caligari, and was a post-doc in iMAGIS laboratory in Grenoble, France, and earned a Ph.D. from Cornell and a B.A. from Williams college.
