I am an associate professor in the Laboratory of Design, Optimization and Modelling of Systems (LCOMS), which is part of Université de Lorraine.

Before joining the LCOMS, I spent two years (2016 and 2017) as a postdoctoral researcher at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA LIST, Paris-Saclay, France) and one year (2015) at the Université de Lorraine as a research and teaching assistant.

I received the BSc degree in electronics and computer engineering from Université Henri Poincaré (Nancy, France) in 2008 and the BSc and MSc degrees in cybernetics and computer vision from Université Paul Verlaine (Metz, France) in 2009 and 2011 respectively. I pursued and received the PhD degree in image and signal processing from Université de Lorraine in 2014 under supervision of Pr. Alain Pruski and Pr. Choubeila Maaoui.

The results from my research are behind the establishment of i-Virtual. Created by Alain Pruski, the company develops Caducy, an e-health solution for measuring vital parameters from video recordings.

Research areas

My research interests include biomedical engineering, affective computing, image processing and artificial intelligence.
