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 and Adrien Bousseau.
My current research focuses on intrinsic images, image editing, image-based rendering and relighting, with geometric cues from multi-view reconstruction. I am also interested in related fields such as Computer Vision and Computational Photography.
I expect to graduate by the end of 2012, and will be looking for a post-doctoral position.
Before joining INRIA, I received M.Eng. and M.Sc. degrees from INSA Lyon in France. I was supervised by Sung-Eui Yoon, Christian Wolf and Khalid Idrissi during my Master internship on content-aware image retargeting, and worked on catadioptric vision with Jean-Charles Bazin. I have also studied in KAIST (South Korea) and traveled around Asia, and am always looking for new international experiences!
