I am an associate professor in the Laboratory of Design, Optimization and Modelling of Systems (LCOMS), which is part of the Université de Lorraine. I lead the ISHM Master (human-machine engineering) since the 2024/2025 academic year.
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.
Projects
The main objective consists in developing a technological solution based on virtual reality that allows the collection and identification of various fall risk indicators.
The project focuses on developing a novel deep-learning-based methodology for spatially resolved rPPG imaging from video recordings of tissues.
