I am a senior researcher at Inria - Université Côte d'Azur in the GraphDeco research group. I did my PhD at Inria Rhône-Alpes, my advisers were Joëlle Thollot and François X. Sillion. During my PhD I also worked as an intern at Adobe's Advanced Technology Labs under the supervision of David Salesin, and at MIT CSAIL under the supervision of Frédo Durand and Sylvain Paris. I did my postdoc at UC Berkeley, working with Maneesh Agrawala and Ravi Ramamoorthi. More recently, I spent a sabbatical year with the Computer Graphics and Visualization group at TU Delft (2022-2023).
I do research on image creation and manipulation, with a focus on drawings and photographs. Most notably I did some work on image stylization, image editing and relighting, vector graphics and sketch-based modeling. I received one of the three Eurographics 2011 PhD award for my research on expressive image manipulations and a young researcher award from the French National Research Agency (ANR) for my work on computer-assisted drawing.
I led the ANR DRAO project on novel algorithms and user interfaces for computer-assisted drawing (2012-2015) and I coordinated the CRISP associate team with UC Berkeley (2010-2016).
I received an ERC Starting Grant and an ERC Proof of Concept Grant to work on drawing interpretation for 3D design. I discuss this topic in two recent interviews for the ERC Science Stories and the People of ACM.
More recently, I have been interested in developing computational methods to support circular design.

Our work on watercolor rendering has been initiated by a collaboration with the french cartoon studio
Broceliande. As a result, a Mental Ray plug-in called
Graphanim has been developped by
David Lanier.
We have presented several aspects of our research on watercolor rendering at
Imagina 2008,
which led to an article
by Noriko Kurachi in the Japanese magazines CGWORLD and FDI.
Noriko Kurachi also wrote an article on the research
done in the Artis research team, in the Eizoshimbun journal.
Noriko Kurachi also wrote an article on our research on intrinsic images for the FDI journal.
