Haisen Zhao

Haisen Zhao is a Professor at Shandong University (SDU), affiliated with the School of Computer Science and Technology and the Interdisciplinary Research Center. His research focuses on geometric processing and digital fabrication, including additive and subtractive manufacturing. He completed his PhD at SDU in 2018 under Baoquan Chen, followed by postdoctoral research at the University of Washington (with Adriana Schulz) and IST Austria (with Bernd Bickel). He has authored over 20 top-tier publications in venues like ACM SIGGRAPH/Asia and IEEE TVCG, and holds multiple patents.

Education: PhD in Computer Science (2018, SDU), Master’s (2014, SDU), and Bachelor’s (2011, SDU). Key awards include the CCF Doctoral Dissertation Award (2019) and Shandong Natural Science Award (2020). He leads a research group focused on advanced manufacturing techniques, advising PhD and Master’s students in areas like robotics, computer-aided design, and fabrication optimization.

Teaching responsibilities include courses on computer graphics, human-computer interaction, and advanced topics for both undergraduates and graduates. His lab actively explores hybrid manufacturing strategies, inverse design methods, and robotic fabrication systems. Recent projects include neural accessibility learning for CNC machining and generative design for microstructure fabrication.
