Monica Crubézy

Background I was born on March 7th, 1972, in Fontenay-aux-Roses, a small town within the southern suburbs of Paris, France. I went to school there and to Lycee Marie-Curie in Sceaux, France, later on.  Then, I spent five years at Ecole Polytechnique Feminine (E.P.F.), also in Sceaux, and received an engineering degree in Computer Sciences in  1994.  As I thought that was not enough, I pursued a M.Sc. degree in Artificial Intelligence and Pattern Recognition from University Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France, in 1995.  Finally, I decided that I needed more sunshine, so I moved to Nice, a big town in the South-Est of France. I am currently in my third year of Ph.D. studies at INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France, within the ORION research team, which main research topics are program supervision and image interpretation.

Key words of interest

Artificial intelligence: program supervision, knowledge-based systems, knowledge representation, planning, problem-solving, knowledge sharing and reuse.
Medical imaging: medical image processing, computer-aided diagnosis, radiological workstations.
Miscellaneous: software reuse, distributed applications, human-machine interfaces.

  ^Briefly

    My work relies on a formalisation of the expert knowledge and reasoning process involved in the use of MIP, both from medical and methodological points of view. Within the framework of the LAMA platform developed in the team, I have designed a PS system for MIP: the Medical Image processing Assistant (MedIA). It integrates the necessary concepts for MIP supervision: 1) a hybrid PS method, mixing skeletal-plan refinement and reactive adaptation, and 2) a description of data and domain objects structured with different perspectives.

    As a basis for my work, I study two applications, that are different approaches to MIP. The first study concerns the Factor Analysis of Medical Image Sequences (FAMIS) method, used to estimate physiological functions that underly NM/MRI dynamic sequences,  in close collaboration with Florent Aubry and Virginie Chameroy at INSERM Unit 494 (Quantitative medical imaging, directed by Pr. Todd-Pokropek), Paris, France. An extension of this work is in progress, in collaboration  with CERMEP-CREATIS, within the Hospital for Neuro-cardiology,  Lyon, France, to characterise myocardic perfusion on dynamic sequences of PET or MRI images. The second study concerns an application of brain anatomic segmentation on 3D MRI images based on computer vision methods (mainly mathematical morphology), in collaboration with Gregoire Malandain, from the EPIDAURE team, INRIA Sophia Antipolis.

  Hobbies

Sports-like: I go jogging nearly regularly, and I have been attending contemporary dance courses for ages now. I also ride a horse from time to time.
Art: I love visiting museums and art galleries. I sometimes draw and paint myself.
More art: I also like to follow the movie activity and appreciate musical concerts, from opera to rock, via jazz !
