Biography

After an engineering diploma in aeronautics (Ensae-SupAero) and a MsC in applied mathematics obtained at Toulouse university, I received my PhD on medical image registration in 2000, prepared at INRIA Rennes. After a postdoc at Utrecht university, Netherlands, I was appointed INRIA researcher in 2001.
From 2001 to 2011, I focused on computer vision methods for medical image registration, image-guided neurosurgery and transcranial magnetic stimulation. I was a visiting professor at McGill university, Montreal in 2006. In 2009, I co-founded a startup to industrialize a neuronavigation system for transcranial magnetic stimulation, and served as scientific council. So far, the neuronavigation system has been used in 30+ hospitals on 10k+ patients.
In 2011, I moved to Technicolor research, working on UGC content synchronization, enhancement, and professional post-production: film grain, color grading, color restoration, unsharp masking and mosaicing. I pursued at InterDigital research in 2019, focusing on machine learning for image and video compression, as well as deep learning for digital human modeling.
Since 2024, I am with the university of Rennes, junior professor chair.
