Biography

I defended my Ph.D. thesis at he University of Rennes 1 in November, 2020. During my thesis, I was interested in the analysis and prediction of lung deformation through medical image registration and biomechanical modeling approaches for guidance during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). I pursued this research as a post-doctoral fellow at the University Grenoble-Alpes, focusing in the application of porous mechanics to modeling macroscopic air-tissue exchanges in the lung, particularly for modeling pneumothroax (lung deflation) during VATS. Since 2023, I joined Inria and the MIMESIS team as a postoctoral fellow. My current goal is the application of porous mechanics in the development of digital twins for guidance in lung and liver interventions.
