I'm currently Associate Professor at the Robotics Department of the LIRMM Lab., University of Montpellier (UM). My research and teaching interests are computer assisted medical interventions and sensor based control for robotic manipulators. In this topic, I serve as a guest lecturer at Central-Supélec since 2010. Since the beginning of my career (2008), I regularly supervises Master thesis and co-supervises Doctoral thesis and Post-docs. I'm also co-organizer with P. Poignet of the European Summer Schools in Surgical Robotics since 2013.
Since 2017, I'm in charge of the surgical robotics translational research activities and platforms at the Medical School of Montpellier.
Since 2019, I'm deputy director of Labex Numev, member of the management-board of Labex CAMI (since 2012), member of the Scientific and Pedagogic Committee (CPS) and co-leader of the integrated project (IP) "Computer Assisted and Robotized Surgery " of Labex NUMEV (since 2016).
From October 2001 until September 2006, I was a Ph.D. student and researcher at the Robotics Lab. of Paris (LRP) - Paris 6 University, Paris, France, I great lab to work at!
The main results of this work are:
From October 2006 until August 2008, I was a Post doctoral Fellow at the TIMC-IMAG Laboratory (CAMI team) - Joseph Fourier University, Grenoble, France. Really a great lab to work at too!
Within the CAMI team, I was involved in several robotic projects, mainly in the area of interventional radiology and image guided percutaneous interventions.
The main results of these projects are:
