Description
Recently, we have presented physical light transport (PLT). PLT algorithms can represent the wave nature of light globally in a scene, and are consistent with Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism. As such, they are able to reproduce the wave-interference and diffraction effects of real physical optics. I will provide an overview of this new line of research, outline the core ideas and primary contributions, and discuss future directions.

Shlomi received an M.Sc. degree in mathematics and computer science from Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, under the supervision of Professor David Harel. My M.Sc research centred on efficient execution and distribution of formally-verifiable software paradigms. Previously, I was a rendering engineer working on CRYENGINE, a leading game- and rendering-engine, and HUNT, a successful AAA video game. Beyond my active research I am also interested in real and complex analysis, classical electromagnetism and quantum mechanics. In my free time, I go hiking to some of the farther reaches of our extraordinary planet, powerlift, read books and play video games.
