I am a junior researcher at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis in the REVES research group. I did my PhD in the Artis group at INRIA Rhône-Alpes, my advisors were Joëlle Thollot and François X. Sillion. During my PhD I also spent 6 months in Seattle as an intern at Adobe's Advanced Technology Labs under the supervision of David Salesin, and 3 months in Cambridge 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.
I do research on image creation and manipulation, with a focus on 2D images (drawings and photographs). During my PhD I did some work on image stylization, image simplification and image editing. I also worked on a novel vector primitive to draw smooth color gradients called Diffusion Curves. I received one of the three Eurographics 2011 PhD award for my research on expressive image manipulations.
My current research focuses on creating and manipulating material and lighting effects. This research is part of the CRISP associate team with UC Berkeley. See our first results on this topic.
