We're hiring!

I am looking for highly qualified Bachelor’s and Master’s students to apply for the PhD program at IST Austria. Research is performed in an English-speaking work environment. The deadline for applications is Jan 8, 2022 for a PhD entry in September 2022. Late applications are possible in exceptional cases (in this case, the student should directly contact me).

In our graphics groups, possible thesis topics are centered around physics-based simulation, geometry processing, numerical methods, and computational fabrication. Our curiosity-driven, interdisciplinary research environment also provides opportunities for collaborative projects with physicists, mathematicians, and neuroscientists.

Keywords for potential research directions:
- efficient and robust algorithms for animating physics
- machine learning for geometry and volumetric data
- data-driven simulation techniques
- algorithms for computer animation
- computational fabrication
- numerical methods for geometry processing and simulation
- interactive design tools
- connectomics
- program synthesis
