I am currently a R&D software engineer at Siemens Digital Industries Software,
in the team of Scott Canann. I am in charge of surface quad meshing & high quality
triangulation for the CFD software
Star-CCM+.
I earned my Ph.D. in computer science,
Polycube Dominant Meshing,
in Team Pixel
under the supervision of
Dmitry Sokolov,
Nicolas Ray and
Franck Ledoux.
It won the second place in the French Computer Graphics Association's
Ph.D. award.
