Differentiable Ray Tracing for Telecommunications: PhD confirmation slides

As part of my PhD, I had to pass a confirmation test which consists in a relatively long oral presentation of my work and technical questions from my thesis committee.

Slides

The following slides are made with RevealJS and are interactive!

Use basic keys like LEFT and RIGHT to navigate through slides, or F to go full screen; you can also click on S to enter the speaker view, which shows the current slide, the next slide, and the speaker notes. For more keyboard shortcuts, see the RevealJS documentation.

The slides were generated using the Manim (The Manim Community Developers, 2022) animation engine and Manim Slides (Eertmans, 2023), one of my open source projects, to combine the animations into slides and later convert them to a RevealJS .html file.

If you prefer, PowerPoint and PDF versions are also available.
