Biography

I started a post-doc in the GraphDeco Team, supervised by George Drettakis and Adrien Bousseau (since March 2023).

I got my PhD in Computer Graphics from Télécom Paris, where I was supervised by Tamy Boubekeur and Jean-Marc Thiery, (Title: “Morphing and level-of-detail operators for interactive digital material design and rendering”)

During my PhD, I interned twice at Adobe Research Paris (Summer 2021 and Autumn 2022). I hold a Master’s Degree from Télécom Paris and have interned at Dassault Systèmes working with realtime path-tracing on the GPU using a material graph.

My research interests include material appearance modeling and real-time rendering.
