|
(See practical experience section) |
|
2004-2005 : |
Master's degree in art science and technology obtained with grade distinction at the ACROE Lab. |
|
This master's is opened to students from engineer's schools or equivalent
level in computer sciences, physics and mathematics, who wish to
acquire scientific and technical knowledge in the area of musical and
visual creation. Official presentation of the master Courses include : . Art of movement . Technology and creation process for musical creation . Real-time simulation and force-feedback interfaces . Virtual image synthesis (Artis Lab course) . Artificial life for image and sound synthesis (IRIT Lab course) . Mathematical methods for music composition (IRCAM Lab course) . Human-machine interaction (CLIPS-IMAG Lab course) . Cognitive science and mental representations (ENSERG course) |
| 1999-2004 : | Engineer's degree in mathematics and numerical modeling obtained at INSA Toulouse. |
 |
The department of Mathematics and numerical modeling of the INSA school
aims to train engineers and mathematicians with the aptitudes to model
and simulate concrete situations and assist users on the mathematical
models and methods used. The training provides a broad knowledge in
applied mathematics, computer sciences and engineering sciences as well
as notions of communication and management skills. Courses include : - A Background in general Physics, Chemistry, Thermodynamics, Mechanics and Computer Sciences. - A specialization in Mathematics and numerical modeling : . Discreet math (algorithm complexity and optimization) . Functional analysis . Numerical analysis . Iterative methods and analysis of linear systems . Signal processing . Probability and statistics . Mechanical modeling (finite elements methods, geometry optimization...) . Fluid mechanics . Computer sciences and programming |
| 1999 : | Scientific Baccalaureate obtained at the international lycée of Fontainebleau, with best grade distinction. |
| Pre-Baccalaureate : | Attended the European school of Culham (England) and obtained various English diplomas : O'Levels in English language, literature and modern history. |
| Sep 2007-... : | Programmer for Dassault Systèmes, Paris, FRANCE. |
 |
I worked on CATIA, a leading CAD software, on the Generative Shape Design workbench, maintaining and developing the surface toolbox commands. I then worked on CATIA Live products (LiveShape, LiveCompose, LiveArchitecture), which aim to offer user friendly interfaces for fast and intuitive edition, review and communication around 3D models. My activities included defining and implementing user interfaces, visual feedbacks and widgets, customizing tools for touch-screen interfaces, incorporating a dynamic engine, as well as general maintenance and development, in collaboration with teams in France, India and the USA. |
| Jan 2007-Sep 2007 : | CIFRE contract with ProStep, Darmstadt, GERMANY, and in collaboration with the LIRIS laboratory, Lyon, FRANCE. |
|
Worked between a French academic laboratory and a German company on the subject of optimising collaboration practices,
sharing and re-using data in an industrial context.
|
| Nov 2005-Nov 2006 : | Assistant to the chair of Geometry at the Lausanne Polytechnical school, EPFL, Lausanne, SWITZERLAND. |
|
|
Worked under the supervision of
Peter Buser
on a project aiming to use IFS and fractal geometries in wooden architecture, with the IBOIS lab, in
collaboration with
Yves Weinand,
Ivo Stotz, and
Gilles Gouaty.
See a site dedicated to this project. I programmed a software which enables a user to experiment with a wide family of subdivision schemes, to produce curves, surfaces and volumes, and export these into a format suitable for prototyping and importing in the Rhino software. Applied mathematics and programming skills were involved, as well as the challenge of collaborating around a project with a multi-disciplinary team. I also had the opportunity to perform teaching tasks (taking care of exercise classes for 1st year students), and did a few visual demonstrations for geometry courses. |
| March-June 2005 : | Master’s degree research internship in the Toulouse computer-science research institute (IRIT Lab, Toulouse, FRANCE) |
|
Programming in C++ (using OpenGL and QT) of an artistic 3D sculpture program by
means of artificial life related methods. See a page on this application. This work was performed under the supervision of Hervé Luga and called for programming skills, including designing my own GUI and 3D visualization. Genetic programming knowledge and mathematics related to implicit surface manipulation were also involved, as well as artistic criticism of the creation process and virtual sculptures generated with the application. |
| February-June 2004 : | Engineer's diploma research internship at Dassault System company (Dassault Systèmes, Paris, FRANCE) |
|
|
Programming
in C++ of a prototype within the CATIA 3D creation software. This
prototype provided tools for the generation and edition of
multiresolution spline surfaces (MSS), approximation of parameterized
surfaces with MSS and wavelet compression of parameterized surfaces
using MSS. This work was performed in continuity of work performed by Arnaud Gelas and under the supervision of David Bonner. This work called for programming skills, signal processing and spline functions related mathematics as well as knowledge in the field of 3D modeling. |
| June-August 2003 : | Research internship in the Irish Cork Constraint Computation Center (4C Cork, IRELAND). |
 |
This
internship was done following the previous research work performed
in 2002 in the French national systems analysis and architecture
laboratory (see following description). The programming work was this time performed in LISP, to be attached to an existing code, as part of a vaster project and within an international research team, under the supervision of Richard Wallace. See a short Report on this work. See a simple Applet I programmed showing the use of CSPs. |
| July-August 2002 : | Research internship in the French national systems analysis and architecture laboratory (LAAS, Toulouse, FRANCE). |
 |
Programmed
a set of tools for the construction and treatment of discreet
constraint-satisfaction problems. The various functions were written in ADA, in cooperation with Mehmet Celikbas and under the supervision of Pierre Lopez and Marie-Jose Huguet. It called for programming skills, skills in the design and study of new algorithms, their performance comparison, and more generally, knowledge in the fields of discreet mathematics and basic artificial intelligence algorithms. |
