Dear CES Students,
we at the Computer Animation Group (https://animation.rwth-aachen.de) are seeking qualified HiWi's to assist in current research tasks. Our groups main area of study is the simulation of rigid-bodies, deformable-solids and fluids with applications in virtual-prototyping, medical simulation, computer games and special effects. As a part of a cooperation with the ISF (Welding and Joining Institute) we are working on extending the capabilities of our open source particle-based fluid-simulation framework SplishSplash (https://github.com/InteractiveComputerGraphics/SPlisHSPlasH), to be more consistent with specific requirements from an engineering perspective.
Possible Tasks: - Help with implementation work and necessary improvements for our fluid simulator - Running and evaluating simulations - Reconstructing fluid geometry and rendering scenes for videos
Requirements: - Experience programming in C++/ Python - Interest in/ experience with fluid simulation - Desire to work on current research topics in simulation and engineering
We offer: - The ability to work remotely as long as contact restrictions are in place, as well as a workplace at our office - Close contact with our research group consisting of engaged researchers and HiWi's who will gladly answer questions and help out with issues - The option to continue working on different projects related to physically-based simulation in the future
If you are interested in learning more, please reach out to me by E-Mail at jeske@cs.rwth-aachen.de. Also feel free to check out our publications (https://animation.rwth-aachen.de/publications/) and the accompanying videos to get an overview of our current research topics.
Stefan Jeske, M.Sc.
