INRIA - REVES group: REndering and Virtual Environments with Sound: collaborations

Internships and Jobs offered in 2009-2010 in the REVES Research group

There are openings for M.Sc. (6 months) and Engineering theses (3-6 months). Please see below.

For any questions please contact George.Drettakis at inria.fr or Sylvain.Lefebvre at inria.fr

PhD Topics

We are proposing the following PhD topics in the REVES team at Sophia-Antipolis:

Continuous Transitions from Realistic Stylized Rendering with an Application to Navigation (G. Drettakis)
Image- and Video-Based Relighting for Virtual Environments (G. Drettakis)
Error Analysis for Moder Shadow and Lighting Algorithms (G. Drettakis)

The PhD for the following topic is for the ALICE group in the INRIA Nancy centre:

Similar Textures by Procedural Approximation (S. Lefebvre)

These PhDs can be financed either by 'Ecole Doctorale UNSA-STIC' or by INRIA (Cordi program). If you are interested, please contact us so that we can indicate you where and how to apply.

M.Sc. or Engineering Topics

Both M.Sc. and Engineering theses receive a stipend to cover expenses ("Indemnité de stage"). Please note that both French students from Masters programs and engineering schools AND students from other countries are strongly encouraged to apply. We have a strong tradition of hosting foreign students for Masters theses.

This year we have decided to have common Masters and Engineering thesis topics. In the case of engineering thesis, the emphasis will be more on programming and less on research. A successful Master's thesis is expected to lead to a publication.

We are primarily looking for M.Sc. students in the following topics. Please email the contact person for more details:

High-Quality View-Dependent Texture Mapping (G. Drettakis and S. Lefebvre)
Continuous Transitions between Photorealistic and Expressive Renderings for Buildings (G. Drettakis)
Reverse Weathering (G. Drettakis)
Texturing Templates (S. Lefebvre)
Interval Texture Trees (S. Lefebvre)

Modeller / Animator Position

No openings at this time for a modeller/animator

Postdoctoral Fellowships

There is an INRIA-wide call for postdoctoral fellows in the Spring. Please contact George.Drettakis at inria.fr for more information.
