Valentin Debarnot

I am looking for motivated candidates to pursue a PhD thesis on computational imaging, with application in microscopy and medical imaging. If you are interested, please follow the procedure in the Open Positions tab. 

Since January 2025, I joined CREATIS and the TOMORADIO team as a junior professor! I'll continue working on cryo-electron tomography and many other applications in imaging with strong interactions with medical applications! I am located at INSA in Villeurbanne/Lyon.

PhD thesis prize

My PhD project was awarded by l'Académie des Sciences Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. 

I received the math/computer science award for my thesis. This prize distinguish thesis in the area around Toulouse.

Since September 2021, I joined the SADA group lead by Ivan Dokmanić in Basel. I'm now working on exciting new projects mixing signal processing, manifold, graphs and (of course) learning. All with interesting applications in cryo-electron microscopy!

I successfully defended my PhD thesis in December 2020. Slides can be found here, and the manuscript here.

From October 2017 I have been working on my PhD thesis under the supervision of Pierre Weiss and Thomas Mangeat. 

My project aims to develop new methods to correct non-stationary blur from microscopy images. I am particularly interested in blind-deconvolution, inverse problems, machine learning. My motivations lie both on theoretical  and applied questions.

This PhD thesis is supported by the Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale, FRM grant number ECO20170637521.
