Presentation
I received a PhD degree in signal processing in 1999 and an Habilitation in Computer science in 2008 from the Rennes I University. I worked at IRSTEA from 1994 to 2005 as research scientist (Chargé de recherche) where I first focused on the control of non linear and time-varying systems by using fuzzy adaptive controler. Next, I focused on visual servoing dedicated to robotic tasks. From October 2005 to December 2008 I was in secondment at IRISA / INRIA Rennes - Bretagne Atlantique in the Lagadic group where I worked on dynamic and active vision, robust features tracking for visual servoing and finally to photometric visual servoing. Now, I am back to IRSTEA where I focus on fluid flow control by visual servoing in the common INRIA-IRSTEA Fluminance group. See some first results here.
