SIGGRAPH 2008
Philipp Slusallek is professor for computer graphics and digital media at Saarland University, Germany. Before joining Saarland University he was visiting assistant professor at Stanford University. He received a Diploma/MSc in physics from the University of Tbingen and a Doctor/PhD in computer science from the University of Erlangen. Philipp has published and taught extensively, including courses on real-time ray tracing at SIGGRAPH05 and SIGGRAPH06. He is the principal investigator for the OpenRT project to establish real-time ray-tracing as an alternative technology for interactive and photorealistic 3D graphics. Recently he co-founded ”inTrace”, a spin-off company that commercializes real-time ray tracing technology.
