Introduction to path tracing
Published:
In this post, I introduce path tracing, a technique in computer graphics for rendering a 3D scene by tracing along the individual paths taken by a random ensemble of photons travelling from light sources in the scene to the camera.
How I designed my research journal
Published:
Some sage advice I was given when starting my PhD was to keep a research journal. No doubt this is common practice, but to be clear, this is to be a place for recording daily work, tracking progress, outstanding tasks, lingering questions, answers to those questions, and so on. Here’s how I designed my ideal journal.
