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

R&D software engineer at [Animal Logic](https://animallogic.com/) Vancouver. Formerly PhD student at LIRIS and INSA Lyon in the [Origami](https://projet.liris.cnrs.fr/origami/index.html) and Imagine groups and assistant lecturer at University Claude Bernard Lyon 1. I mainly worked on computer graphics and realistic rendering. I write offline rendering algorithms in C++ 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.
