Bio:
SIGGRAPH 2012
Wojciech Jarosz is a Research Scientist in charge of the rendering group at Disney Research Z¨urich, and an adjunct lecturer at ETH Zurich. Prior to joining Disney, Wojciech obtained his Ph.D. (2008) and M.S. (2005) in computer graphics from UC San Diego, and his B.S. (2003) in computer science from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
Wojciech’s main research interest is realistic image synthesis and his publications explore practical applications in a variety of areas in computer graphics including: participating media; complex illumination and materials; global illumination; Monte Carlo methods and efficient sampling; and high-dynamic range imaging. His work in these areas has been incorporated into production rendering systems and used in the making of feature films, including Disney’s Tangled (2010).
