Get to know me

I’m a research scientist working in sports physics and biomechanics. I love applying computer vision techniques like tracking, segmentation, and particle image velocimetry (PIV) to understand how things move and how they interact with the surrounding air or water.

What does that mean in practice? I like to work on projects where I am recording hard-to-observe motion with high speed cameras and turning those images into data to learn how it works.

So far I have worked on paragliding, snake swimming, and divers splashes. You can learn more about each of those projects on their pages or check out some of my favorite things in Paris.
