About me

I’m currently working as a PhD Candidate in the SIROCCO team advised by Christine GUILLEMOT and Aline ROUMY. My PhD focuses on low-light image restoration in the context of autonomous vehicles for instance. I’m also a self-taught guitar player in my free time. Currently in love with bouldering.
