Permanent staff
André GAGALOWICZ
Team leader
Dr Andre Gagalowicz is a research director at INRIA, FRANCE. He was the creator of the first laboratory involved in computer vision/computer graphics collaboration techniques in 1984. He graduated from Ecole Supérieure d'Electricité in 1971 (engineer in Electrical Engineering), obtained his PHD in Automatic Control from the University of Paris XI, Orsay, in 1973, and his state doctorate in Mathematics (doctorat d'Etat es Sciences) from the University of Paris VI (1983). He is fluent in english, german, russian and polish and got a bachelor degree in chinese from the University of Paris IX, INALOCO in 1983. His research interests are in 3D approaches for computer vision, computer graphics, and their cooperation and also in digital image processing and pattern recognition. He received the prizes of the best scientific communication and the best technical slide at the Eurographics'85 conference. He was awarded the second prize of the Seymour Cray competition in 1991 and one of his papers (on texture modelling) was selected by the "Computers and Graphics" journal as one of the three best publications of this journal over the last ten years. He took part to the redaction of eight books and wrote around two hundreds publications. He chaired (and was a member of the scientific committee of) many international conferences, the last one being CAIP2005. He was the founder and the last chairman of the MIRAGES international conference. The last version of the MIRAGES conference (MIRAGE'2005) took place at INRIA, FRANCE between the 3rd and 5th of March 2005. This conference is exclusively dedicated to computer vision/computer graphics collaboration techniques which is also his main research field.

PhD students
Tung LE THANH
PhD student
Tung graduated his master's degree in Computer Science from IFI (Francophone Institute of Informatics) in Hanoi - Vietnam. He started his research with a PhD thesis at Pierre-Marie Curie University in Paris from 2004. His current research is focused on developing a virtual dressing system which brings to particular user an efficient way to try cloths via internet. His research interests revolve around Automatic prepositioning of virtual cloth around a 3D mannequin.

Daria KALINKINA
PhD student
In 2005, Daria graduated from the Moscow State University (Russia) having a specialization in "Applied Mathematics and Informatics". Her researches for the master diploma were dedicated to different approaches to noise reduction in video and still images, and were performed under the supervision of Professor Yuri Bayakovsky, head of the Computer Graphics and Multimedia Laboratory of the faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics. In april 2006, after six months of internship, Daria started a PhD in the MIRAGES project supervised by Professor André Gagalowicz. Her current research interests include 3D face modeling based on sets of images and model-based face tracking.

Yujun CHEN
PhD student
Yujun Chen is now an intern student at INRIA in the MIRAGES project supervised by Professor André Gagalowicz. She is a Ph.D. candidate in computer science and technology at the Tsinghua University in China, expecting to get both her Ph.D and master degree in July 2008. Her research topics include physically based animation, virtual garment simulation, and the artificial intelligence study for the identification of virtual garment parameters. Currently she focuses on the efficient virtual cloth system with buckling effect.

Weiran YUAN
PhD student
Weiran YUAN is a Ph.D. candidate from the Peking University in China, and an internship student in the MIRAGES project supervised by Professor André Gagalowicz. He is presently majoring in computational mechanics and has received his bachelor's degree in computer science and technology in 2003. At the moment, his main research interest is physically based garment simulation, which is an interdisciplinary research field of both computer science and mechanics. Before that, his research has mainly been focused on a sparse matrix solver, which has largely sped up the numerical process of simulations.

PostDocs and Research Engineers
Julien PERRET
PostDoc / Research Engineer
Dr Julien Perret received a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Rennes 1 in 2006 as well as a Master of Science degree from the same University in 2002 and, the same year, a Master of Engineering degree from the INSA (National Institute of Aplied Science) of Rennes. He proposed a functional extension for L-systems (FL-systems) which allows more flexibility in the definition of geometric objects using, as well as a faster rewriting process thanks to a novel cache mechanism based on dynamic dependancy calculus (in collaboration with Gurvan Le Guernic). He applied his theoretical and technical results to the procedual modeling of cities, including buildings, plants, roads and urban features. He collaborated with Kadi Bouatouch, Stéphane Donikian, Charles E. Hughes, Sumanta Pattanaik, and Gurvan Le Guernic.
