I'm an Associate Professor at Université de Grenoble Alpes (UGA), conducting my research at the Morpheo team at INRIA Grenoble and collaborating with Perceiving Systems in several projects.
My research aims at understanding the world through the capture and analysis of heterogeneous data, in order to create applied digital instruments. Examples of heterogeneous data are optical images obtained with visible light cameras, medical images obtained with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Computed Tomography (CT) scanners,as well as geometry data obtained with depth sensors. Examples of digital instruments are tools that allow to generate novel views from a scene, to infer the human shape from a clothed scan, or to predict the amount of adipose tissue of a person from surface observations. To address this challenge, I adopt the approaches of Computer Vision, Signal Processing, Computer Graphics and Statistical Models. My research is often multi-disciplinary, as I need to combine knowledge from these different domains. The instruments resulting from my research allow practitioners to create new digital representations of the world, and help them to interact with it. I have collaborated with practitioners, like cinema directors, artists and doctors. In addition to scientific publications, transfer to the industry is a significant result of my research. Prior to research, I have an extensive (7 years) experience in the industry that allowed me to understand professional needs while closely collaborating with the academic community.
