introduction
I am a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science (Computer Games Development) in the Department of Computer Science at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). Previously, I was a Lecturer in Computer Science in the School of Computing Science and Digital Media (CSDM) at the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland from 2017 to 2019. In November 2017, I became fellow of the Higher Education Academy in United Kingdom. I received a BSc in Computer Science from University Claude Bernard Lyon 1, a MSc. in Computer Science with Honors from INSA-Lyon, University Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and Ecole Centrale of Lyon, France. In 2012, I earned a PhD degree from University of Bordeaux (France) with highest honors. In addition, I was teaching assistant at University of Bordeaux from 2009 to 2011. I was temporary teaching assistant at ENSEIRB engineering school. I was visiting researcher at University of Porto in Portugal from March to May 2013 and IT Porto. In 2013, I collaborated at Ben Gurion University of the Negev (in Israel) and Shandong University (in China) as post-doctoral researcher. From 2014 to 2016, I was post-doc researcher in Visual Computing at the University of Innsbruck (Austria). I'm member of ACM, ACM SIGGRAPH since 2009, and Eurographics from 2009 to 2012.My research interests lie in the field of Computer Graphics, Computer Vision and Digital Fabrication. In particular, I devote efforts on techniques for video-based performance capture, mesh tracking, character rigging and skinning, mocap, geometric modeling, mesh deformation, captured animation, non-rigid time-varying scenes reusing, and non-photorealistic animation. My research work is dedicated to develop vision-based graphics toward 3D cinematography, and designed to bring easy-to-use tools, but not limited to. I served as reviewer for more than one hundred of well-established conferences and journals and I reviewed more than two hundred papers for conferences including EG, GI, ISMAR, SIGGRAPH, VR, CHI, PGV, SUI, GraphiCon, SIGGRAPH ASIA, TOG, PLOS ONE, Optica Applicata, TVCG, CVPR among others.
