Research

I am performing my research in the field of Computer Graphics. I am especially interested in the efficient creation of 3D virtual scenes using high level control. I work on the topics of 3D Modeling, but also Deformation, Animation and Visualization for complex virtual shapes and characters.
I am a member of the Imagine research team from Inria, and Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann (LJK), CNRS in Grenoble.

For more details, see Research Axes, and List of Publications.

PhD Supervision

I am currently co-supervising 2 PhD Students:

Pablo COVES (2015-2018)
Reconstruction of CAD Models from Scanned Data
With Jean-Claude Leon and Raphaelle Chaine

Amelie FONDEVILLA (2016-2019)
Sculpting and animating developable surfaces with video embedding
With Stefanie Hahmann and Marie-Paule Cani

I co-supervised 2 PhD students:

Teaching

I have been teaching in a French Engineering School: CPE Lyon, in the Electronics, Telecommunication, Informatics (ETI) department since 2010. I am giving classes in Computer Graphics, but also in general Computer Sciences, Image Processing, and Applied Mathematics.
I am responsible for the coordination of the Math, Image and Signal domain, and I am especially involved in the Image, Modeling and Computing specialization program.

For more details and access to the class documents, see Teaching Section.
