General information

[back to top]

Since October 2009, I am a PhD student in the REVES team at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis (France), where I research Computer Graphics under the supervision of George Drettakis.

The topic of my thesis is Image- and Video-Based Relighting for Virtual Environments. My current research in Computer Graphics focuses on image manipulation and synthesis, but I am also interested in related fields such as Computer Vision and Virtual Reality.

Before joining INRIA, I received M.Eng. and M.Sc. degrees from INSA de Lyon in France. During my Master internship on Real-Time Low-Distortion Retargeting of Large Images, I have been supervised by Christian Wolf, Khalid Idrissi, and Sung-Eui Yoon. I have also studied in KAIST (South Korea) and traveled around Asia, and am always looking for new international experiences!

Teaching

[back to top]

I am looking forward to teaching Programming or Computer Graphics next semester, in Sophia-Antipolis or Nice. If you are aware of any open position for tutorials or practical labs, please let me know!

Je suis à la recherche de séances de Travaux Pratiques ou Travaux Dirigés à encadrer au semestre prochain, de préférence dans le cadre d'un module d'Infographie ou plus généralement de Programmation. Merci de me prévenir si vous avez connaissance de postes à pourvoir sur Sophia-Antipolis ou Nice (CV disponible sur demande).
