I am a professor in the Computer Science department at Ecole Polytechnique in France, and a Visiting Researcher at Google DeepMind. At Ecole Polytechnique, I am a member of the GeomeriX team. My current research is supported by my ERC Consolidator Grant: VEGA.
My work is primarily related to geometric (3D) shape analysis with emphasis on Deep Learning for non-rigid shape comparison and processing. In the past, I have worked on a range of topics including shape classification and retrieval, non-rigid shape-matching, comparison, denoising and symmetry detection especially on 3D point cloud and triangle mesh data. I'm also very interested in Computer Graphics and Computer Vision in general, as well as applications of Deep Learning for scientific discovery. You can find some of my work on the Publications page.
