Research and employment details

March 2000 – Today

Research Engineer, Epidaure project, INRIA, France

Supervision of research contracts (supported by the european project QAMRIC BMH4-CT98-6048 "Quantitative Analysis of MR Scans in Creutzfeldt-Jakob" from March 2000 to October 2001, and by the european project MAPAWAMO QLG3-CT-2000-30161 " Mapping visual cortical regions in awake, behaving monkey using functional MRI" from November 2001 up to now)

Research: 3-D alignment of histological and optical serial sections; correction of intensity variations through histogram equalisation; fusion of reconstructed histological and optical volumes with MR data; registration of pre- and post-operative MR volumes; construction of anatomo-functional atlases of human and non-human brains; target determination for deep brain stimulation; correction of distortions in EPI MR acquisitions.

Coordination: supervision of the european projects QAMRIC and MAPAWAMO (QAMRIC coordinator: Pr. Alan Colchester, Kent University, UK; MAPAWAMO coordinator: Pr. Guy Orban, K.U.Leuven, Belgium); supervision of three academic national collaborations ("Improvement of target determination for deep brain stimulation by registration of magnetic resonance images with a functional atlas of the basal ganglia", coordinator: Pr. Jérome Yelnik, U.289, INSERM, Paris - partially suported by Medtronic, Inc.; "Evaluation of MR spectroscopy and diffusion imaging in the diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease", coordinator: Pr. Jean-Philippe Brandel, U.360, INSERM, Paris; "Approche des bases anatomo-fonctionnelles des relations cortico-sous corticales chez l’homme sain et des modifications plastiques induites par la dystonie", coordinator: Stéphane Lehéricy, PHU, Neuroradiology Dpt., La Salpétrière Hospital, Paris).

Training: training of M.Sc. and Ph.D. students in Applied Mathematics and Computer Vision.

Teaching: lectures given in various courses on Medical Image Analysis (reconstruction, filtering, discrete topology, registration,…)

Drafting: answering at european and national calls for proposals.

Reviewing: reviewer for several journals and conferences (MICCAI, MedIA, IEEE TMI,…)

1998-1999

Post-doctoral fellow (EC Marie-Curie grant), Dpt. of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, University of Granada, Spain

Research: statistical deformable models; structural representation and matching of objects.

Teaching: lectures given in various courses on Medical Image Analysis

Note: the primary goal of this fellowship was to initiate, within the Dpt. of Computer Science, a research activity dedicated to Medical Image Analysis, and a major part of this two-years post-doctoral stay has thus been devoted to this task. Unfortunatly, this project encountered various difficulties (both at scientific and administrative levels) and had to be cancelled out after 18 months.

1997

Post-doctoral fellow, Image Processing and Analysis Group (lead by Pr. James Duncan), Yale University, USA

Research: bi-morphisms for curve registration; content-based indexing in medical image databases.

1996

Post-doctoral fellow, Image Analysis Group (lead by Dr. Frithjof Kruggel), Max-Planck Institute for Cognitive Neurosciences, Leipzig, Germany

Research: representation of deep brain structures with hybrid deformable models.

1992-1995

Doctoral fellow, Epidaure project (lead by Pr. Nicholas Ayache), INRIA, France

Research: introduction of geometric and iconic constraints in classical deformable models (e.g. snakes); introduction of a new type of deformable model, the deformable superquadrics, based on Free-Form Deformations; applications to cardiac imaging; reconstruction and tracking of the left ventricle of the heart.
