Nestor Monzon

I'm a PhD student at the Graphics and Imaging Lab at the University of Zaragoza. I'm under the supervision of Diego Gutierrez and Adolfo Muñoz.

My research interests include light transport simulation and forward/inverse rendering, especially participating media. I also work on variance reduction techniques, implicit surfaces, and related problems in physically based rendering.
