Hanxiao Shen is a computer scientist with 11 years of engineering experience and a strong research background as a PhD student in computer science focused on geometry processing and computer graphics. Based in New York, he combines rigorous academic training from Zhejiang University and NYU with hands-on contributions to influential open-source projects like libigl, where he enhanced the igl::harmonic module by adding uniform Laplacian weighting and updating tutorials. He excels at low-level C++ geometry tooling and numerical operators, bridging theory and practical implementation to improve developer-facing APIs. Known for thoughtful interface changes that preserve backward compatibility, he brings a measured, research-driven approach to engineering problems in graphics and geometry.

Contributions summary:Hanxiao primarily contributed to the `igl/harmonic` module by adding the functionality for using uniform Laplacian weights, which offers an alternative method for computation. This involved modifying existing code, including the addition of an option to switch operators in the `igl::harmonic` function and corresponding header file changes. The user also updated multiple tutorial files that were using the `igl::harmonic` function to reflect the new interface.
