Sebastian Herholz is a ray tracing engineer and light transport researcher at Intel.
He studied computer science at the University of Tübingen, focusing on computer graphics - especially on Monte Carlo light transport simulation and importance sampling.
His main research work focuses on advanced importance sampling techniques such as path guiding.
In 2020, joined Intel to work on making state-of-the-art rendering algorithms ready for daily use in production environments.
The outcome of his work is included in Intel's Open Path Guiding Library (Open PGL), an open-source library where he is the project lead.
