I am a research scientist in Computer Graphics at Adobe Research. I graduated my PhD from IP Paris, under the supervision of Pr. Tamy Boubekeur, about Interactive Authoring of 3D Shapes Represented as Programs. I previously studied Computer Science at the École normale supérieure and the MVA Master as well as Computer Arts at Paris 8 University.

I enjoy writing in a more relaxed style and, although I couldn't get myself to feed it regularly, I hold a blog: https://blog.exppad.com
The blog is fairly technical, interleaved with a couple of thought posts, but I also like creative writing. I keep a log of more or less redacted ideas in a secure offline device:
