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.
