About

I am a cognitive scientist with a focus on vision in a broad sense. I cherish biological and artificial perspectives of embodied vision and coaction between these two research fields. I have been affiliated with neuroscience modeling along with robotics labs in Portugal, Germany, and France. Consequently, my work spans from spiking data analysis to visual context classification. My latest work is in collaboration with Antoine Manzanera. We are working on lifelong learning of visual representations, particularly in the problems of incremental learning and curiosity. I am also a lecturer in computer vision, mathematics, informatics and cognitive science. I have taught in several french universities and BSc and MSc levels.

Research Interests

Visual perception, early vision, biological modelling, unsupervised Learning, incremental learning, probabilistic models, information theory, attention, front-vision, retina, ecology, vision, sensory coding, embodyment, perception, intelligent systems, decision making.
