My main interests are in Medical Simulation, High Performance Computing, GPU and new Parallel Architectures, Virtual Reality and Computer Graphics.

Here are the latest research projects I am involved in.

Medical Simulation Realistic physical-based simulations coupling heterogeneous bodies. Exploiting GPUs and multi-cores architectures to reach interactivity. Rendering of detailed surface features, deformed volume rendering. Subprojects: SOFA EVE (Endovascular Training System) GPU-based deformable models and collisions using CUDA.

Shader-based Rendering Exploiting last-generation graphic cards features. Application to distributed rendering pipeline. High-quality distributed volume rendering. Subprojects: FlowVR Render Fur Rendering First Place, NVIDIA/Discreet Shaders Contest – June 2001

Grid and Image Combining Clusters, Computer Vision, and Graphics for Real-Time Interactions. Marker-less real time 3D modeling. Distributed rendering on a display wall. Exploring new interactions. Subprojects: GrImage Cyber-II: Real-time Integration of a Person in a Virtual Environment with Interactions INRIA, LIRIS Funded by ACI «Masse de données» – French Department of Research

Scalable High Performance Virtual Reality Providing tools to use distributed systems for VR. Distributed interactive simulation. Modular data-flow based application model. Coherency and synchronization constraints management. Large scale environments coupling multiple simulations and complex input devices. Subprojects: FlowVR Net Juggler SoftGenLock Geobench: Distributed Immersive Visualization and Haptic Interactions Applied to (Geo-)Scientific Data. BRGM, CEA, INRIA, LIFO, TGS Funded by RNTL – French Department of Research
