About

A picture of me at the Los Angeles zoo near the giraffe feeding area.

My name is Andrew Bauer. I'm a graphics software engineer on the Interactive Visualization team at Walt Disney Animation Studios. I earned my M.S. in Computer Science from University of California, San Diego with a special focus on physically-based rendering. During my graduate education, I had the opportunity to conduct research on rendering under the guidance of professors Ravi Ramamoorthi and Henrik Wann Jensen. I've previously done internships at several companies including Microsoft, Pixar, and Walt Disney Animation Studios.

This site is meant to be a showcase of some personal projects I've worked on, as well as an opportunity to share what I've learned during the process. My own interest in rendering started by reading graphics blogs online, so I hope I can give a little back and inspire others to join this exciting field.
