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.
