About me

I am associate professor of computer science (maître de conférences) at Bordeaux INP, in the ENSEIRB-MATMECA engineering school, and researcher at the LaBRI laboratory, in the Image and Sound department. I obtained my PhD in computer science from Université Paris Descartes, where I was advised by Laurent Wendling and Camille Kurtz. My work was about modeling and learning spatial relations between objects for image understanding, with applications in document analysis, remote sensing and medical imaging. After my PhD, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Vision Research of York University, where I worked with James Elder on shape data analysis for 2D and 3D reconstruction problems.

Teaching

I teach computer science at ENSEIRB-MATMECA, a public engineering school located in Bordeaux. I am teaching courses mainly related to the following subjects:

  • UNIX, GNU/Linux environment
  • C programming
  • Object-oriented programming
  • Software engineering projects
  • Image processing, computer vision
  • Artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning
Since 2022, I am head of the last-year specialization in AI (M2) at ENSEIRB-MATMECA. Before that, I was head of first year for the R&I (formerly RSI) work-study programme.

From 2014 to 2017, I was a teaching assistant at UFR Mathématiques et Informatique of Université Paris Cité. I was involved in the following classes:
