I am a PhD student under the supervision of Justin carpentier, Vladimir Petrik and Josef Sivic. I work in the Willow team at Inria in Paris as well as in the Impact team at CIIRC in Prague.

I graduated from Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, receiving a MSc degree in applied mathematics.

My research interests are in Physics Simulation, Robotics and Optimization.
