Research interests

I am mainly working in the medical image processing field, and I am more especially interested in the statistical treatment of geometric features. I am particularly interested in medical image registration, computational anatomy and in the mathematics involved in these fields: statistical computing on Riemannian manifolds and potentially other geometric structures (Lie groups, information geometry...).

Links to some recent or on going projects that I am running or involved in:

• Brain Atlas: associated team with LONI at UCLA.

• ARC BrainVar: modeling the anatomical variability of the brain, INRIA Cooperative Research Initiatives

• Health e-Child: an integrated healthcare platform for European paediatrics. Illustrations and details on Asclepios work in this project can be found in this public deliverable.

• NeuroLOG: Software technologies for integration of process, data and knowledge in medical imaging.

• Master of Computer Science in Computational Biology from Nice Sophia Antipolis University

Main hobby : Caving

Here is

• the page of our speleo section at INRIA

Do not forget to have a look on some of my caving pictures :

• speleothemes

• "splogues".

Have a nice trip.
