RISE Research Institute of Sweden invites a motivated student for a Master’s thesis or internship in digital twins, XR, robotics and AI-driven scene representation. Work on 3D Gaussian Splatting for real-time rendering and dynamic scenes using Python/C++, CUDA and PyTorch.
You will implement, experiment and evaluate 3D Gaussian representations on GPU frameworks, with a moving platform demo and 3D display integration. Office at Kista 2–3 days/week; Sept 2026 start; compensation 1333 SEK per ECTS.
Background
We are offering a Master’s thesis or possible internship within digital twins, eXtended reality, robotics, & autonomous systems in the area of computer vision, 3D graphics plus AI-driven scene representation. We are focusing on the emerging field of 3D Gaussian Splatting. It has gained attention as a powerful alternative to Neural Radiance Fields for high-quality, real-time rendering of complex 3D environments. By representing scenes as collections of anisotropic Gaussian primitives, the method enables photorealistic rendering with significantly improved efficiency and interactivity. Your work will be algorithm development, implementation, experimentation, and scene evaluation using GPU-based frameworks.
Thesis Focus
Desired background
We are looking for very motivated students with interests in:
Your background
Studying at a Swedish university, you should have a solid technical background + machine learning. Programming in at least 2 languages. Python+1 from Java, Rust, or C++.
Other information
You will be given an office at RISE, Kista expected there 2-3 days / week. Paid 1333 SEK per ECTS, tax deductible, paid on satisfactory oral + written thesis defense. Start time Sept 2026.
