Advanced Computational Design - PhD position

The Rendering and Modeling group at TU Wien is looking for candidates interested in its interdisciplinary project "Advanced Computational Design", on the topic of "Lighting Simulation For Architectural Design".

This interdisciplinary Special Research Programme aims to develop advanced computational design tools for the early design phase in Architecture, Engineering and Construction in eight scientific subprojects spanning computer science (computer graphics), architecture, civil engineering and mathematics.

For this project we are looking for candidates interested in computer graphics and light simulation, in particular (differentiable) physics-based rendering, numerical optimization, or machine learning for lighting design applications.
