About me

I am currently a PhD student at CSAIL, MIT, advised by Prof. Adrian Dalca and Prof. John Guttag.

Prior to joining MIT, I completed a MSc in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at ETH Zürich. I got my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Liege.

I am passionate by computer vision and its different applications in healthcare. I have been leveraging learning-based registration techniques to adapt them to new problems.

Other interests

I had life-long passions and also developped new ones as time went by.

Music

I enjoy music in general, it is an increadible way to share emotions. I started playing the piano as a kid and I still play now. I also dance a lot. I started with jazz and classic but now I prefer ballroom dancing, in particular: salsa.
