I joined the Institute for Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies – Italian National Research Council (Genova, Italy) as a post-doctoral research associate in November 2009.

I work with Michela Spagnuolo on computational geometry and topology.

I defended my PhD thesis on October 22nd, 2009 at LIMOS (Clermont-Ferrand, France) with Vincent Barra. The subject of my PhD was "Tools for tiling surfaces". See also the illustrations page.

Research:

Keywords: unfolding, cutting, tilling, topology, geometry.

During my PhD thesis in 2006-2009, I focused on questions of cutting and tiling surfaces, integrating topological, geometrical and combinatorial constraints on the tiles. I also explored various applications, from medical imaging to computer graphics (see the publications page).
