I am Research Director at INRIA in the Sophia Antipolis - Mediterranee Research Center where I lead the team ATHENA focused on the Computational Imaging of the Central Nervous System.
I am also teaching graduate courses on Biomedical Imaging, Computer Vision and Image processing in the following Master of Sciences 2 : Master of Science in Computational Biology and Parisian Master of Research in Computer Science and in the following engineering school Telecom Sud Paris.
I am member of the INRIA Sophia Antipolis - Mediterranee Management board, vice-chair of the INRIA Sophia project-team committee (Since Sept. 1st, 2008), member of the INRIA Evaluation Committee and vice-Director of the STIC Doctoral School.
I am Associate Editor of SIAM Journal on on Imaging Sciences (SIIMS), member of the editorial board of Computational Imaging and Vision book series and currently Co-chair of ICPR 2010 : Track VI: Bioinformatics and Biomedical Applications. I have been Associate Editor for many years for journals such as IJCV and area-chair for many conferences such as ECCV, ICCV, CVPR, MICCAI, RFIA, ISBI etc
Research Interest: My expertise and research interests are in Computational Imaging of the Central Nervous System (CNS - Brain and Spinal Cord), 3D Computer Vision and Mathematical Image Processing. More recently, i shifted my research interest from the domain of 3D Computer Vision to the domain of Computational CNS Imaging with a particular emphasis on the understanding and the processing of the CNS anatomical connectivity through Diffusion MRI and its combination with other modalities such as fMRI, MEG or EEG. More generally, i am very interested by the development and application of mathematical and computational imaging methods to help understand how the brain works and acquire a better understanding of its mechanisms.
