Research interests

My research interests lie in the field of surface processing and surface analysis, in particular when the surfaces are represented as point clouds. It includes surface denoising, meshing, scan merging and surface segmentation. I am particularly interested in developing machine learning approaches for geometric data (see here for an example).

I started working on those topics during my PhD (2007-2010) with Jean-Michel Morel at CMLA (ENS Cachan), for which I received a PhD award from the Fondation Hadamard. I pursued on these topics at INRIA Sophia Antipolis (Geometrica team) with Pierre Alliez, David Cohen-Steiner and colleagues from Caltech (Mathieu Desbrun and Fernando deGoes) .

In October 2012, I joined the LIRIS (équipe GeoMod which is now merged into the Origami team) lab at Université Lyon 1, as a CNRS researcher.

I defended the Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches in September 2018 at Université Lyon 1.

I was promoted to Directrice de Recherche (Senior researcher) in October 2023
