Postdoctoral Researcher in Computer Graphics at InriaPostdoctoral Researcher at Inria
I'm a French PhD in Computer Graphics currently working as a postdoctoral researcher for Fast Fluid Simulation based on Optimal Transport at Inria and under the supervision of Bruno Lévy. Before that, I completed a PhD in Computer Graphics at XLIM under the supervision of Stéphane Mérillou and Maxime Maria during which I worked for Efficient Computation of Geometry for Large Protein Visualization and Illustration.
My research focuses on efficient geometric representations and parallel computational methods. In particular, I'm interested in large-scale applications in rendering, scientific visualization and physics simulation.
