Summary
Sunrise Wang is a postdoctoral researcher with 11 years of experience applying advanced graphics and signal-processing techniques to radio-astronomy and light-transport problems. Currently at Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur, their work focuses on scalable imaging algorithms for next-generation radio interferometers (SKAO), building on prior academic and industry research in many-lights methods, path guiding, and real-time graphics. They bridge theoretical research and practical implementation, having moved between academia (Inria, CentraleSupélec) and industry (RenderHeads, Triggerfish) to ship R&D-driven software and plugins. Based in Nice, France, Sunrise combines a strong academic pedigree (PhD-level work in computer graphics) with hands-on engineering for large-scale scientific instruments. An unusual detail: they have a creative side in procedural shaders (Shadertoy past projects), reflecting an ability to translate visual experimentation into scalable computational solutions.
