Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSven Oesau is a research and development engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in computational geometry, 3D reconstruction and urban semantic modeling. He currently drives R&D at GeometryFactory and previously led projects on Multi-View-Stereo, LiDAR processing, BIM/CityGML and deep learning for semantic extraction at CSTB and Inria. His PhD work produced award-winning publications on indoor scene reconstruction and resulted in a CGAL shape-detection package that he later continued to improve as a backend contributor, fixing edge cases and modernizing code to newer Eigen versions. Comfortable in C++, CUDA and graphics stacks, he has bridged academic research and production software—shipping robust geometry algorithms used in both open-source and industrial contexts. Based in the Greater Nice area, he combines rigorous algorithmic thinking with practical I/O and performance fixes (e.g., PLY property-map handling), a detail often overlooked but critical for real-world pipelines.
