About Me

Hi, I'm Christian!

I'm an EDIC doctoral fellow in Computer and Communication Sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL). I previously completed my graduate studies in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). During internships at DisneyResearch|Studios in Zurich, NVIDIA Switzerland, and Huawei's Munich Research Center, I worked on neural and differentiable rendering using the Mitsuba 3 rendering framework. I also developed a function-level caching feature for the Dr.Jit just-in-time compiler.

You can find my CV here.

Dr.Jit Function Freezing

A function level caching feature for the Dr.Jit compiler. By annotating a function with a decorator, we record and replay kernels, skipping tracing and compilation of kernels.
