I'm happy to announce that, on February 1st, I will be starting a new postdoc at Harvard with Hanspeter Pfister.

For older news : I was invited to give a talk for an annual meeting of the LIMA project in July 2011 - a project bringing together research teams working in graphics around Lyon and Grenoble (FR). I also presented our 2010 ACM Trans. App. Perception paper at APGV in August 2011. I also presented a demo of our VMV 2011 paper at the "Palais de la Découverte" in Paris (a science museum) in October. And finally, I went to Hong Kong to present our Displacement Interpolation paper at Siggraph Asia 2011 in December !

Our paper Displacement Interpolation Using Lagrangian Mass Transport has been conditionally accepted for publication at Siggraph Asia (ACM Trans. on Graphics).

I was ranked 5th for a full time research position at INRIA over approximately 125 candidates holding PhDs in various computer science disciplines. This does not allow me to get the position (there are 2 positions), and I'm thus looking for career opportunities, research positions in faculties or interesting companies. My research statement mainly involves Wasserstein spaces and mass transport - or how to deal with probability distributions (such as BRDFs, color histograms, character pose distributions, descriptor distributions for vision applications, etc.) in a principled way. I see this space of distributions as a Riemmanian manifold (see for example the excellent book from Vilani), where geodesics can be computed, where projection makes sense etc. : in short, where differential geometry makes sense. This is inspired by our last work (and to a lesser extend, by our EGSR paper on hair reflectance acquisition) where I realized that most blending operations performed on probability distributions just don't make sense and give rather poor results, while Wasserstein spaces solve these issues and give an exciting research direction!

For a more applied research and development industry, my skills (non-exhaustively) involve computer graphics, applied maths, C++/Matlab coding. To a lesser extent, computer vision, machine learning, mobile development on Android, and other programming languages (Java, Fortran etc.).

We released our last work on displacement interpolation as a technical report. This is an excellent topic to work on... Check the video and the project page!

After the Siggraph deadline, I spent a few days with some friends in the largest wind tunnel in the world, at Paraclete XP, NC, trained by the skydiving World Champions: the Team4Speed. Check the awesome video we did!

- December 6th/November 21th, 2010
I just accepted to be part of the International Program Committee for the Eurographics Symposium on Rendering (EGSR) 2011 and for the Graphics and Virtual Reality (GRVR) 2011 international conference.

- November 17th, 2010
We got the Best Paper Award at VMV for Proxy Guided Texture Synthesis for Rendering Natural Scenes over 82 submitted papers including 43 accepted papers!.
I will also start a new postdoc at INRIA Nancy with Bruno Levy from December 8th 2010.

- September 8th, 2010
New website! Our technical report has also been accepted as a paper to appear at VMV'2010.

- May 23rd, 2010
We released a great technical report on rendering sketched 3D scenes using photographs... Check this out here! You can also directly see the video on YouTube here.

- December 1st, 2009
PostDoc at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver (Canada), until November 2010.

- November 8th, 2009
My PhD thesis is now online. Download it now!

- September 15th, 2009
I just defended my PhD thesis "Audio and Visual Rendering with Perceptual Foundations". I will be a postdoctoral researcher at the University of British Columbia starting from December 2009 to November 2010, supervised by Michiel van de Panne.

I've been interviewed by the New Scientist on the Harmonic Fluids paper this year at Siggraph! Check the article!
