UROP

Summer 2023

Internship at Università della Svizzera Italiana, Lugano, CH

UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program) is an internship offered to the top five students that apply and allows you to work with a research group of your choice.

• Worked under the tutelage of Prof. Didyk and PhD student Jorge Condor
• Brought my expertise to a project that aims to do HDR reconstruction using Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) in combination with event cameras
• Extended a pre-existing event camera simulator to make it compute the data wanted by my supervisors in order to generate synthetic data to train the NeRFs
• Learned how to use Unreal Engine 5 to create short sequences of a camera flying around a scene
• It was very instructive since neither of my supervisors knew the material I had to work on, so I had to learn how to read code and understand it deeply in order to complete the task required of me
