Corrine Yu – Programmer

pouria / Game developer, Nerds land / / 0 Comments

Known for: Quake 2, Borderlands, Halo 4
You may be surprised to learn that Corrinne Yu’s work on Quake 2, Borderlands, and Halo aren’t the most impressive parts of her portfolio.
A California State Polytechnic University, Pomona graduate, Corrinne also designed accelerator experiments for nuclear physics research. We’re not saying that research was inspired by video games, but we can’t discount the chance that it was.
Corrinne famously created new lighting techniques and dynamic radiosity algorithms during her work on Halo 4, which were then patented by Microsoft.
