I study the modeling and generation of graphical user interfaces for modeling environments such as the Papyrus UML modeling environment. Papyrus is his test bench and i’ve proposed a meta-model that supports the modeling and automatic code generation of nearly the whole Papyrus graphical user interface. My work has been published in several international conferences (ECMFA, VL/HCC, IDM).

My research fields : Visual Languages, Model-Driven Engineering, Model-Driven Development, Model-Based System Engineering, UML…

In my research I want to work on problems that have practical applications, which often leads me to interdisciplinary work. Most of my research in graduate school would be classified as biomedical imaging, more specifically image reconstruction (both two and three dimensional) from projections. I have been involved in projects related to computerized tomography, electron microscopy and, most recently, soft x-ray microscopy. It has been both fascinating and challenging to work with biologists, physicists and mathematicians, all of whom come with their own approaches, notational conventions, and priorities. Most of the projects with which I am involved attempt to improve the quality of reconstructions computed from on biomedical data.

I am planning to continue my work in image reconstruction from projection data. All of the projects that I have been involved in are still sources of interesting and challenging questions and the solutions that we provided can be further generalized or improved. I am also interested in expanding my work into other areas of biomedical imaging. I think of my research to some extent as providing answers to problems that arise in the general area of biomedical imaging and as long as I can collaborate with experts in the areas from which these problems arise, I can work on the development of computational solutions. The collaborators with whom I worked during my years in graduate school will remain the source of new problems, but I am also looking forward to new collaborations and challenging problems.

I develop intelligent systems to effectively discover and visualize salient patterns and anomalies in big data. My work automatically segments and visualizes structures from medical volume datasets. My saliency-based system locates and guides users to explore informative regions on very large images. My research on 3D shape acquisition and matching classifies mechanical parts. My papers on volume segmentation and image exploration have received the Best Paper Award at IEEE SciVis 2012, and an Honorable Mention Award at IEEE Vis 2011. The papers related to my shape matching work have received more than 200 citations according to Google Scholar. I have also delivered commercial 3D reconstruction software for a 3D laser scanner.

I have completed my doctoral studies under the title “Managing Applications and Data in Distributed Computing Infrastructures” in June 2012. The projects during my PhD covers computational solutions, efficient resource discovery in heterogeneous environments and data management based on large scale distributed infrastructures.

In future, I would like to continue the research and development track. My aims are to continue working on both storage and computational solutions based on distributed computing infrastructures, especially the unconventional solutions for highly challenging scientific disciplines. I am also interested in exploring upcoming technologies to evaluate their benefits for my research and scientific community.
