hey there 👋🏻
Welcome to my personal website!
I am Dmitry, and my expertise lies in the realm of geometry processing. If you are curious about the significance of geometry processing and its applications, consider this: geometry is ubiquitous in our surroundings. Ever used 3D maps? Picture the terrain as a triangle mesh, with buildings and bridges composed of fundamental geometric shapes such as cubes and cylinders. And what about 3D cartoons? Every visual element is intrinsically tied to geometry. So, I am the one who helps companies to make their geometries right.
my story 📔
My journey towards geometry processing commenced in 2012 when I enrolled in a Ph.D. program at Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) in Lugano, Switzerland under mentorship of Kai Hormann. My primary focus revolved around 2D generalized barycentric coordinates and their applications in geometry processing, predominantly within the 2D domain. In 2017, I relocated to Nice, France, and sustained my academic pursuits in the Titane team of the National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (Inria) by delving into the intricate field of 3D urban reconstruction from large point clouds, encompassing various levels of detail.
During this period, a shift in perspective led me to lean more towards practical industrial applications as opposed to purely theoretical research. This inclination prompted my foray into the realm of open source. Joining GeometryFactory, I dedicated myself to contributing to the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library (CGAL) — a preeminent collection of geometric algorithms and data structures. Over the course of almost three years, I played a pivotal role in enhancing the library, delivering several packages, and implementing numerous smaller features. I also served as a mentor for several projects being part of the Google Summer of Code (GSoC).
In 2021, I was invited to join the 3D map team in Zenly (Snap Inc.) and subsequently relocated to Paris. Together, we engineered an exceptional 3D map engine for our social application until circumstances led to the closure of the company. That was the time to move forward and I switched the field again. This time, I joined an awesome team at Samp, a promising deep-tech startup focusing on providing as-built 3D digital twin solutions for large industrial facilities using a smart combination of AI and geometry processing algorithms.
