I am originally from Quebec City, Canada, and after ~10 years in the States I am back in this beautiful city. I obtained my Ph.D. in 2011 from the Robotics Institute, in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, where I was advised by Alyosha Efros and Srinivas Narasimhan. I then spent a year as a Computer Vision Scientist at Tandent, Inc., followed by another year as a Post-Doc at Disney Research, Pittsburgh. I am now an assistant professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of Laval University, Quebec.

Here is my "official" bio.

Research

My research interests are in computer vision and computer graphics, especially at the intersection of the two. In particular, I am interested in exploring how understanding the illumination conditions in images can help us interpreting and synthesizing them better.

• Illumination Understanding in Images
• Applications of Machine Learning in Vision and Graphics
• Data-Driven Image Synthesis
• High Dynamic Range Imaging
• Geometry and Appearance Capture
• Perception for Outdoor Mobile Robots

Open Positions

I am currently looking for graduate students at the M.S. and Ph.D levels. Contact me if you are motivated, hard-working and excited to work in computer vision and graphics. I currently have the following openings:

• Computer Vision and 3-D Geometry Acquisition (Ph.D.)
• Illumination-Aware Scene Understanding

Je suis présentement à la recherche d'étudiants à la Maîtrise et au Doctorat. Contactez-moi si vous êtes motivés, vous aimez travailler fort et êtes intéressés à travailler en vision numérique et en infographie. Les projets suivants sont présentement disponibles:

• Vision artificielle et Acquisition de Géométrie 3-D (Doctorat)
• Analyse de Scène grâce à l'Éclairage

Teaching

I will be teaching a new computational photography class in the 2014 Winter semester. Stay tuned!
J'enseignerai un nouveau cours sur la photographie algorithmique à l'hiver 2014. Plus de détails bientôt!
