Shlomi Steinberg

Professor Shlomi Steinberg joined the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science as an Assistant Professor in August 2023. Previously, he was a rendering engineer working on video games.

His research resides in the realms of computer graphics and computational optics. He currently works on physical light transport, which serves as a bridge between rendering and wave optics. He would like to realize a cohesive computational theory that enables the simulation of the wave-optical behaviour of light in complex, real-life scenes and environments.

He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and his M.Sc. in Mathematics and Computer Science from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, where he was supervised by Professor David Harel.
