**Basile Fraboni** About ==============================================================

Happy Dad. Rendering R&D software engineer at [Netflix Animation Studios](https://www.netflixanimation.com/) working on [Glimpse]("https://animallogic.com/technology/products/glimpse/"), the in-house path tracer. I am also a contributor to [OpenImageIO](https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenImageIO). Formerly [Animal Logic](https://animallogic.com/), PhD at [LIRIS]("https://liris.cnrs.fr/en") and [INSA Lyon]("https://www.insa-lyon.fr/en") in the [Origami](https://projet.liris.cnrs.fr/origami/index.html) group, assistant lecturer at [University Claude Bernard Lyon 1]("https://www.univ-lyon1.fr/en"). I mainly work on computer graphics and realistic rendering, and study Monte Carlo methods for light transport simulation. I also play along with random stuff like discrete optimal transport, Voronoi diagrams, optimization, signal processing and algorithmic art.
