Hi, I’m Terry.

I’m a master’s student at ÉTS under the supervision of Prof. Adrien Gruson. My undergrad was spent at UWaterloo, where I worked with Prof. Toshiya Hachisuka on the walk-on-boundary method. I also worked with Prof. Samuel Wong on using machine learning in computational forestry and protein structure prediction.

My primary research interests are in improving physically-based rendering algorithms from both the forward and inverse perspectives. I’m also interested in finding ways to help artists improve their workflows using differentiable rendering.
