Path Tracing
Mina Konaković Luković and Stephanie Wang on life as a postdoctoral researcher
This piece inaugurates a series of Spotlights tracing the many paths a career in computer graphics research can follow (thus the moniker “Path Tracing”). WiGRAPH is kicking off this series with a topic of interest to many PhD students facing a recent or impending graduation: whether to seek a post-doctoral research position. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, we highlight here the experiences of two young women who have tread this path, MIT Postdoc Mina Konaković Luković and UCSD Postdoc Stephanie Wang, who share a glimpse into their lives as postdocs and their motivations for pursuing this role.

Event
Berthouzoz Women In Research Lunch
The Berthouzoz Women in Research Lunch is a networking event for
researchers, faculty, and students. This event is named after Floraine
Berthouzoz, who started this lunch as an informal gathering. After her
passing in 2015, Floraine's mentees and colleagues built upon her
efforts to create an event that has been steadily growing in its
reach for the past few years, with over 100 participants last year!
We will be hosting a panel of women in graphics who will share with
us some of their research experience. We would like to note that the
event is open to all researchers, regardless of gender.

WiGRAPH Launch
We are so excited to launch this new
initiative, to build a community of women researchers in Computer
Graphics. Our main goal is to broaden the network of women researchers
in Graphics. We believe that we can help increase the number of women
pursuing cutting edge research in the field by creating environments
where women researchers can interact with each other and seek role
models, mentorship, and encouragement.
