- Bio
SIGGRAPH 2020
Iliyan is a researcher and principal software engineer at Autodesk. He holds a degree from Saarland University, Germany, for which he received the Eurographics PhD Thesis Award. His research is focused primarily on Monte Carlo methods for physically based light transport simulation. Iliyan publishes regularly at top-tier scientific journals and conferences, and his work has been incorporated into various production rendering systems.
SIGGRAPH 2014
Iliyan is a rendering researcher and enthusiast. He holds a B.Sc. degree in computer science from Sofia University, Bulgaria, and a M.Sc. degree from Saarland University, Germany, with a Ph.D. degree anticipated in the near future. His primary topics of interest are high performance ray tracing and Monte Carlo methods for physically- based light transport simulation. His aspiration for practical rendering solutions has given him the opportunity to work for Disney, Weta Digital and Chaos Group (V-Ray). He currently works for Solid Angle.
