About Me
I’m working as a research engineer at Disney in Zurich.
I completed my PhD at Télécom Paris (Institut Polytechnique de Paris) under the supervision of Alasdair Newson, Yann Gousseau, and Andrés Almansa. My PhD was about video inpainting (removing objects in videos) and I am more generally interested in image and video editing, especially ill-posed inverse problems using generative models.
Before that, I worked at Gleamer on bone fracture detection in x-ray images. I graduated from Télécom Paris, and obtained the “Mathématiques, Vision, Apprentissage” (MVA) Master’s degree from ENS Paris-Saclay.
