PhD: Modelisation and prediction of the topography of flat carbon steel

• Strong collaboration with ArcelorMittal
• Development of tools to improve topographical measurements
• Collection of a big experimental database tracking the evolution of steel sheets' topographies during their paint processes
• Exploring the hydrodynamical and optical phenomena involved in the steel / paint / light interactions
• Defended on 02/27/2008 (Slideshow[fr], with notes[fr]): Thesis[fr] [BibTeX] abstract in english
• Polynomial Form Correction with Autocorrelation (explanations and demo with downloadable Python scripts)

Complementary activities during the PhD

• Maintenance and development of the generic image processing platform Morph-M (C++ and Python)
• Participation in a course about Models of Random Structures.
• Development of a random media simulation framework: SIMEA (C++ and Python):
  
  • generation of various image types: binary, floating points, colour
  • any dimension: 1D, 2D, 3D...
  • usable as a plugin for Morph-M
  • presented at ISMM2007 (extended abstract [BibTeX])
  • sample images

Previously

• Development of tools for the segmentation and skeletonisation of tree like structures : JSkel
• Collaboration with the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at Monash University (Melbourne, Australia)
• Participation in a study about kidney morphogenesis [BibTeX]
