I completed my PhD in image and video processing in March 2014 under the supervision of Andres Almansa, Yann Gousseau and Patrick Perez, with Technicolor and Telecom Paris. My research interests include image and video inpainting and restoration, generative models, and image and video analysis. I spent one year as a Postdoc researcher with the team of Guillermo Sapiro, after which I spent one year at Paris Descartes (Paris, France) with Julie Delon and Bruno Galerne. From 2018-2023 I was assistant professor with Télécom Paris. From 2023-2026, I was Lecturer with the MLIA team in the ISIR lab, at Sorbonne Université. I defended my Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches in 2023.
I am currently full Professor at Université Paris Cité , in the Mathematics for Imaging team in the MAP5 lab, where I am working on deep learning for image processing.
