Présentation

I believe that one of the current challenges in computer animation is the modeling and the simulation of plausible anatomical characters. My research focuses on technologies merging: - **physics-based animation**, to naturally manage the physical behavior of the human body, - **soft body deformation**, to take into account the continuum mechanics effects of human tissues, and - **musculoskeletal simulation**, to actively actuate the virtual humans through muscle forces. My investigations mostly involve biomechanical simulations within real-time virtual environments, e.g. animation engine for games and interactive applications.
