I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the GraphDeco Group at Centre Inria d'Université Côte d'Azur. My current research focuses on direct manipulation and inverse procedural parameter estimation in a differentiable rendering scenario as well as geometry processing applications for porting vector graphics to the manifold domain.
