Biography

I am Associate Professor (​Maître de Conférences, HDR) in Artificial Intelligence and Medical Imaging at Télécom Paris in the IMAGES group of the LTCI lab. I am also a research collaborator of the Ima-Brain research team at the Institute of Psychiatry and Neuroscience of Paris (IPNP) and of the research laboratory NeuroSpin at the CEA.

I did my academic training with Inria at the ARAMIS Lab in Paris where I worked with Stanley Durrleman (Inria Researcher), Olivier Colliot (CNRS Research Director) and Nicholas Ayache (Inria Research Director) and then at Neurospin (CEA) with Edouard Duchesnay (CEA Research Scientist), Josselin Houenou (M.D. APHP) and Jean-François Mangin (CEA Research Director). Previous to that, I obtained a MSc in Mathematical Modelling and Computation from the DTU in Copenhagen and a MSc in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Padova.

I participated to the development of the open source software suite deformetrica for statistical shape analysis and of the software platform Clinica for clinical neuroimaging studies.

My research interests lie primarily in the fields of machine learning, AI, representation learning, medical imaging and computational anatomy.

Research Projects

Modeling, transferring and discovering anatomical knowledge using AI

Work on new learning methods (e.g., knowledge distillation, contrastive learning, image-to-image translation) for modeling prior anatomical knowledge, transferring relevant anatomical information between domains (e.g., from adult to pediatric data) and discovering new anatomical biomarkers.

Tractogram analysis

Explore new geometric representations, metrics and deformation models for fast, robust and reliable processing, comparison and visualization of tractograms from diffusion MRI (white matter, nerves, etc.).

Multi-modal Data Fusion: learning common and distinctive anatomical variations

Investigate new statistical methods to learn common and distinctive anatomical variations between different parts of a human organ (i.e. white and gray matter of the brain) or between two different populations (i.e. controls and patients).

Glioblastoma atlas estimation

Propose a method to estimate a 3D atlas of glioblastoma using a population of MR brain images. The resulting atlas should describe the average shape of glioblastoma and its variability, which will depend on its anatomical location, as well as the main variations of the surrounding tissues (mass effect).
