Since October 2019, I am a full-time CNRS researcher (chargé de recherche) in the Morpheme team at the I3S laboratory in Sophia-Antipolis, France.

Before that, I was a Lecteur Hadamard research fellow funded by the FMJH working at the CMAP, École Polytechnique, a post-doctoral Marie-Skłodowska Curie fellow at the University of Genova and a PhD student at the Cambridge Image Analysis research group.

My research focuses on the development of analytical models and efficient algorithms for mathematical image processing. My main research topics are:

• variational models and PDEs for imaging

• non-smooth optimisation

• biomedical image processing and analysis

• digital restoration of artworks

• bio-inspired models for vision

Ongoing projects

• ANR PRC MICROBLIND - Blind inverse problems and optical microscopy. PI: P. Weiss (CNRS, IMT).

• International Emerging Action (IEA) CNRS project VaMOS - Variable-Metric and inexact sparse Optimisation for Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. PI with S. Rebegoldi (University of Florence).

• CNRS PRIME: Imag’IN - Analysis of transformation and destruction processes of painted images and relations between images and texts. PI with R. M. Dessì (CEPAM, UCA).
