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. 

I have been granted an ERC Startig Grant 2023. The project MALIN (Model-aware learning for imaging inverse problems in fluorescence microscopy) will conceive and validate new physics-inspired learning methdos for the solution of challenging inverse problems in fluorescence microscopy with many applications in the field of developmental biology. Press releases: here, here and here.

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

• variational models for imaging inverse problems

• non-smooth optimisation

• biological image processing and analysis

• digital restoration of artworks

• bio-inspired models for vision

Ongoing projects

• ANR JCJC TASKABILE - Task-adapted bilevel learning of flexible statistical models for imaging and vision. Project website

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

Organising

• Co-organiser (with S. Vaiter, CNRS, LJAD) of the UCA OptAzur seminar series on optimisation and its applications, starting date: September 18 2023. 

• Co-organiser, with E. Soubies (CNRS) and P. Weiss (CNRS) of the conference 30 years of mathematics for optical imaging, September 25-27, Marseille, France.

• Co-organiser, with M. Corneli (UCA, FR), I. Théry (CNRS, FR), V. L. Coli (UCA, FR), of the workshop Artificial intelligence and applied mathematics for history and archaeloogy (IAMAHA), November 27-28 2023.

• Responsible  of the thematic group MIVA (Mathematics of Imaging, Vision and Applications) labelled by the Mathematical Italian Union (UMI). 

News

• Our (with G. Rodriguez, University of Cagliari, Italy) proposal for the Bando Cassini Senior program  for the organisation of a thematic French-Italian workshop in 2024 on the use of mathematics for digital humanities has been accepted! 

• Together with S. Schaub (LBDV, CNRS) I co-organise an atelier on "COLORME/FLUOGAN : Super-resolution in fluorescence microscopy with standard setup" to show the performance of the methods developed for fluctuation-based super-resolution microscopy in the occasion of MiFoBio 2023 conference, in Hyeres, FR.
