Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyusuke Sugimoto is a postdoctoral researcher at ISTA specializing in computer graphics and physics simulation, with nine years of experience bridging academic research and production software. He develops integral-equation and Monte Carlo techniques for non-rendering simulation tasks, building on a PhD from the University of Waterloo and a double major in CS and Mathematics from HKUST. His industry work includes contributions to Houdini at SideFX—implementing linear solvers, Laplacian operators, and novel geometry nodes—and short research stints at Adobe focused on graphics problems. Comfortable both coding features for production tools and publishing rigorous research, he blends numerical analysis, GPU-aware implementation, and practical pipeline thinking. Based in Vienna, he often brings numerical methods from his teaching and research into real-world VFX workflows, a crossover that fuels both his tool-building and academic output.
