Inria Senior Research ScientistShort bioI received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in control systems and signal processing from the National Polytechnic Institute of Lorraine in 1999 and 2003, respectively. My Ph.D. research work was carried out with the AVR team (Control Vision and Robotics) in the LSIIT lab (Laboratoire des Sciences de l’Image de l’Informatique et de la Télédétection) that is now iCube at Strasbourg. From 2002 to 2004, I was an assistant associate professor for undergraduate student lectures in electronics, control, and computer programming with Strasbourg University. In 2004, I joined Inria as an Inria Research Scientist in the Lagadic group. During the year 2006, I did a 9 months research stay with the Computer Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology Engineering Research Center (ERC CISST) in The Johns Hopkins University . I defended a habilitation thesis in Signal Processing in December 2012. Since 2018, I am in the Rainbow group, a joint team of IRISA (UMR 6074) and Inria centre at Rennes University. Between 2004 and 2020, my research primarily focused on the development of visual servoing methods using ultrasound imaging. I was particularly interested in designing generic methodological solutions that allow for the control of all degrees of freedom of an ultrasound probe mounted on a robotic manipulator. My research covered several aspects, including the modeling of the interaction between the probe and its environment, the determination of relevant visual information for system control, and the processing of ultrasound images required to extract this information in real time. These efforts resulted in effective solutions for the autonomous guidance by visual servoing of ultrasound probes (2D and 3D), as well as for robot-assisted insertion of flexible needles under ultrasound imaging. Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO) from July 2019 until June 2022. Associate Editor of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L) from June 2015 until July 2019.
