Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrancisca Gil is a researcher and visual thinker with 14 years of experience building interactive 3D visualization tools that bridge computational geometry, computer vision, and machine learning. She has driven production-grade imaging and real-time graphics work at Amazon and now applies AI to 3D reconstruction at CENIA, combining academic rigor from a Ph.D. in Computer Graphics with hands-on product delivery. Her contributions to the popular libigl geometry library—adding Python bindings and topology utilities—highlight a knack for making advanced geometry tooling more accessible to users and developers. Equally comfortable designing optimization algorithms for digital fabrication and implementing cutting-edge techniques like Gaussian Splatting, she excels in multidisciplinary teams where technical and creative perspectives collide. Based in Santiago, Chile, she brings a persistent focus on user-centered design to complex 3D problems, often turning research prototypes into usable systems. An uncommon strength is her ability to translate low-level geometry plumbing into intuitive interfaces that empower non-expert users.
