Projects

A real-time renderer written in C++ and HLSL. The project currently supports forward rendering of glTF models based on the Blinn-Phong reflection model using directional lights, spot lights and point lights. Shadows cast by directional lights use Cascaded Shadow Maps, stabilized by texel snapping.

A multi-threaded Whitted-style ray tracer written in C++. Currently the application is capable of rendering multisampled images of spheres, boxes and triangle meshes with diffuse, metallic and dielectric materials. Defocus blur is simulated via thin lense approximation.

Analyzed flow fields of fuel droplets inside internal combustion engines with self-supervised deep learning models in order to gain insight into cycle-to-cycle-variations. Research results were published under the title "Deep feature learning of in-cylinder flow fields to analyze cycle-to-cycle variations in an SI engine" at the International Journal of Engine Research.

Rendering raymarched metaballs with OpenGL and GLSL. Metaballs are organic-looking blobs which are able to meld together to a single, contiguous object when they are in close proximity. The implementation is based on the paper "GPU‐based Fast Ray Casting for a Large Number of Metaballs" by Kanamori et al.

Wrote a modular, easily customizable product configurator framework for both the Unreal Engine 4 and Unity. It successfully shipped over 10 projects for clients all around the world, e.g. premium car manufacturers.

Modified the Unreal Engine 4 render pipeline to render and export training data for autonomous systems such as bounding boxes, scene depth and semantic segmentation maps.

Implemented and maintained the first fully digital instrument cluster of the BMW 3, 5 and 7 series.
