I am a data engineer. My main fields of work are data processing and data analysis. In the past, I essentially worked with anatomical images (from X-ray Micro-Computed Tomography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging for example) and with a focus on shape analysis. Recently I joined the Cognition and Learning Research Center in Poitiers. I am in charge of processing analytical data related to the study of human behavior.
