Bio:

  • SIGGRAPH 2011

    Matthias Muller-Fischer is a principal software engineer at nvidia and head of the PhysX research team. He received his PhD in atomistic simulation of polymers in 1999 from ETH Zurich. During his post-doc with the MIT Computer Graphics Group (1999-2001) he changed fields to macroscopic  real-time simulations. Since then, his main research field has been the development of fast and robust physically based simulation methods for computer games. He has published key papers in computer graphics on real-time particle based water simulation and visualization as well as finite element and geometry based soft body, cloth and fracture simulation. In 2002, he co-founded the game middleware company NovodeX (acquired in 2004 by AGEIA Technologies, Inc.), where he was head of research and responsible for the extension of the physics simulation library PhysX by innovative new features. He has been with nvidia since the acquisition of AGEIA in early 2008.
