Shlomi Steinberg

Assistant Professor · Computer Science

I study computer graphics and computational optics, developing methods to simulate how light propagates, diffracts, and interacts with complex environments.

About

I am affiliated with the Computer Graphics Lab at the University of Waterloo. My long-term goal is a cohesive computational theory for simulating wave optics in complex environments, including how those environments are sensed by eyes, cameras, radar, and other sensors.

I hold a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of California, Santa Barbara and received the NVIDIA Ph.D. fellowship for 2022–2023. I completed my M.Sc. in mathematics and computer science at the Weizmann Institute of Science, supervised by David Harel, working on efficient execution and distribution of formally verifiable software paradigms.

Previously, I was a rendering engineer working on CRYENGINE and HUNT: Showdown.
