Dmitry Anisimov is a Geometry Lead based in Paris with nine years of experience building production-grade geometry kernels and large-scale point cloud processing systems. He holds a Ph.D. in applied mathematics and informatics and has a strong R&D background at organizations including Inria, GeometryFactory, Zenly, and Samp, where he moved from engineer to lead. Dmitry’s work spans procedural model generation, simulation, LOD-aware urban reconstruction, and optimized mesh operations—he’s contributed performance and algorithmic improvements to CGAL, notably hole-triangulation and fairing in Polygon_mesh_processing. He combines deep theoretical knowledge with pragmatic C++ engineering to deliver robust, scalable geometry tools used in real products. An active open-source contributor and educator, he balances shipping core kernel features with documenting and teaching complex geometric concepts. Colleagues rely on him for turning advanced geometric algorithms into maintainable, high-performance systems.

Contributions summary:Dmitry's commits focused on implementing and improving the "triangulate_hole" and "fair" features within the CGAL library, specifically in the context of the "Polygon_mesh_processing" module. Their work involved modifying the C++ code, improving documentation for the functions, and optimizing computations related to the 2D constrained Delaunay triangulation (CDT) and overall hole-filling algorithm. This likely included improving the accuracy and efficiency of the processing for various mesh operations.
