Short Bio

picture of myself

I received the M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Telecommunications from the Graduate School École Nationale Supérieure de l'Électronique et de ses Applications (ENSEA) specialized in EComputer Systems, in 2010. And I received the M.Sc. in Intelligent Systems and Communicating from the University of Cergy-Pontoise (UCP), in 2011.

I successfully defended my Ph.D. in 2014 at ETIS - UMR 8051 CNRS/ENSEA/Univ under the joint supervision of Philippe Henri Gosselin and David Picard. This work is about multimedia retrieval, his thesis title is "Optimal representations for retrieval in patrimonial databases".

In 2015-2016, I was a post-doctoral researcher at GREYC/University of Caen - UMR CNRS 6072 in the research group of Pr. Frédéric Jurie (Image Team). I worked on supervised metric learning based on Boosting approaches applied for face identities retrieval.

From early 2016 to September 2016, I was a post-doctoral researcher at GREYC/University of Caen - UMR CNRS 6072 in the research groupes of Pr. Frédéric Jurie (Image Team) and Pr. Abdel-Illah Mouaddib (MAD Team). I worked on embedded computer vision systems for autonomous robots in public spaces.

Since September 2016, I am an associate professor (enseignant-chercheur) at ESIEE Paris graduate school and Informatic Laboratory Gaspard Monge (LIGM), Noisy-Le-Grand, France.
