About me

I am a research scientitst at IFREMER, Underwater Robotics Lab, La-Seyne-sur-mer, working on robotics perception and computer vision related problems.
Before that, I was a postdoctoral research scientist at ONERA, The French Aerospace Lab, working on visual SLAM and a PhD student at ONERA and LIRMM, working on vision-based localization and 3D mapping for underwater robotics. My research interests lie in Computer Vision, SLAM, 3D Reconstruction and Machine Learning.
