I am an Associate Professor in Computer Graphics at the Université de Montpellier where I joined the
ICAR team of the LIRMM in September 2018.
My research work addresses how to model, interact with and visualize interactively large volume datasets with a particular focus on mesh generation
and processing of segmented 3D images. My work is at the intersection of variety of topics related to computer graphics and visualization
(geometric modeling, Non-Photorealistic Rendering, image processing and stylization...).
I completed my PhD on Modeling, Visualization and Interaction with 3D Volumes using Meshes in 2013 in the Computer Graphics
Group of Telecom ParisTech
under the supervision of Tamy Boubekeur and
Isabelle Bloch.
Open positions
