Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Vanderhaeghe is a computer graphics researcher, programmer and entrepreneur with over a decade of experience blending academic rigor and applied development. As Co-Founder and CSO of RollingDot and an associate professor at Université Paul Sabatier, he builds novel expressive and non-photorealistic rendering algorithms while teaching rendering, modeling and programming. His PhD work and postdoctoral research emphasize real-time, temporally coherent, user-controllable image synthesis, and he brings hands-on GPU expertise in GLSL and CUDA to bridge prototypes and production tools. A long-time C++/OpenGL developer and Emacs enthusiast, he contributes practical tooling improvements—such as enhancing an Emacs-based C/C++ IDE’s CMake integration—that reflect his focus on developer ergonomics for research codebases. Based in Toulouse, he combines film and VFX industry interests with a strong academic publication record to deliver purposeful solutions for creative rendering challenges.
