Photon Mapping Superluminal Particles

Source

After quite a bit of work, I'm happy to announce my first successfully accepted academic paper: Photon Mapping Superluminal Particles. In this paper we investigated how to render the light generated by particles travelling faster than light relative to the surrounding media, yielding some visually pleasing images.

If you're interested in knowing more, the full paper as well as the presentation at Eurographics 2020 are available via the link above.

This is hopefully the first of several publications to come during my PhD studies, but for now we'll just have to wait and see what the future holds.
