Short CV


Research

Presently, my research interest is mainly focused on global illumination rendering with the specific aim of leveraging machine learning techniques for a perceptually-improved image quality. I am mostly interested in Bayesian approaches or more generally kernel-based methods. In my previous research position at Orange Labs, my research area was rather oriented towards network-based rendering applications.
