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!
For more information, please have a look at my publication list and latest news, or contact me by email (C.V. available on request).
