One post-doctoral researcher and one Ph.D. position are available at the Technical University of Munich in the area of physically-based animations of complex materials for games and movies. The Technical University of Munich currently has a new research focus on computer games and digital effects. A particular emphasis lies on the efficient simulation of complex materials, such as deformable bodies, fracture and fluid effects. It is an area that has found wide spread use in the movie industry, but many challenges remain to employ these techniques in games, and to use increase usability of the simulations. While the program will focus on fundamental research topics, industry relevance is likewise a strong focus. Especially the area of computer games so far is a challenging field for expensive simulations due to the strict time and resource constraints. The goal of this program is to push the boundaries of complex physics simulations for interactive applications. Research areas include, but are not limited to, data-driven algorithms and machine-learning approaches, efficient parallel solvers, accurate discretizations and procedural modeling of physical phenomena. If you are interested in applying, you should have a strong background in numerical algorithms, have experience implementing C/C++ algorithms, and you should be excited to work on state-of-the-art research in the CG area. Good English skills are also a plus. For the post-doctoral position, you should have a strong publication record in computer graphics, or a related discipline such as computer vision, applied physics or numerical math. This is a full time position, with payment and benefits according the German public service employment levels (TV-L E13, 100%). To apply, please send your CV to the address below.
