About

I am currently a post-doc at IRIT in Toulouse, in the STORM team. I am working with Nicolas Mellado and Loïc Barthe on the analysis of large 3D point clouds using topological methods.

Prior to that I was a research engineer at Sorbonne Université, working on Topological Data Analysis with Julien Tierny, within the ERC project TORI .

I defended my PhD thesis on December 8, 2021, on the subject of Progressivity in Topological Data Analysis.

I'm highly interested in ways to use Topological Data Analysis to visualize and analyze scientific data. My thesis focused on developing progressive algorithms to do so in fast and interactive ways.
