Øster Voldgade 3, Copenhagen, Denmark

Freshly graduated from CRIStAL at the University of Lille, in France. I am working on developping algorithms and new methods for 3D/4D deformation models of non-rigid shapes. My work was supervised by Prof. Mohamed Daoudi (IMT Nord-Europe) and Sylvain Arguillère (Laboratoire Painlevé, CNRS).

I am currently enrolled as a Postdoc at the University of Copenhagen, in the Pioneer Centre for AI under the supervision of Stefan Sommer.
