Who am I?
Welcome to my webpage! My name is Christoph Neuhauser and I'm a computer graphics & visualization enthusiast blogging about some interesting findings in my free time.
Since January 2021 I'm working full-time as a PhD student at the Chair of Computer Graphics and Visualization (I15) of Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Westermann at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany. All opinions on this blog are my own and do not reflect the views of my employer. In case you are a student at TUM looking for a thesis advisor, please feel free to contact me!

Publications
Interests
My main work interests are computer graphics & visualization. This encompasses, but is not limited to:
- Real-time computer graphics
- Scientific visualization (SciVis) and information visualization (InfoVis)
- General-purpose GPU computing (GPGPU) and parallel program engineering
- Scientific computing and large-scale data processing and visualization
- Machine learning in graphics and visualization
- Virtual and augmented reality
- Video game development
Occasionally, I also do stuff in the area of web development, like for this blog. For our student dormitory, me and other students managed our web server and intranet infrastructure.
In my free time, I learn Japanese, and I'm at an intermediate language level. At university, I took (and passed) courses at the CEFR B1 level. I didn't take a Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) yet, but I guess I would probably pass the level N3 if I decided to take it.
Programming languages
Programming languages I work with very regularly:
- C/C++ – for graphics applications using Vulkan and OpenGL, UI applications with Qt, and for compute stuff with CUDA and OpenCL.
- Python – a great language for scripts, tools, and machine learning code.
- JavaScript
Programming languages I have worked with a lot in the past, but am using very irregularly nowadays:
- C# – I used it a lot in conjunction with the Unity game engine.
- PHP – we used PHP for the web server we managed for our student dormitory.
- Java – I pretty much used it for everything back when I started to study computer science.
Toolkits
Toolkits I'm very familiar with:
- Vulkan and OpenGL
- Qt
- Boost C++ libraries
- CMake
- SciPy, NumPy, Matplotlib
- PyTorch
- NVIDIA CUDA, OpenCL, OpenMP, MPI
- WebGL, three.js
- WebXR – I added WebXR support to CindyJS, a framework for creating interactive mathematical content for the web (https://github.com/CindyJS/CindyJS/tree/master/plugins/cindyxr/src/js)
Toolkits I have worked with, but less often:
- DirectX/Direct3D 11 – I used it as a university student, but nowadays I'm mainly sticking to OpenGL and Vulkan due to using Linux as my main OS.
- Unity game engine
