About Me
I am a mechatronics engineer currently pursuing a Biomedical Engineering Master’s in the IRIV program, HealthTech Track, at Télécom Physique Strasbourg / University of Strasbourg. My background combines mechanical, electrical, software, and control engineering with a growing specialization in medical robotics and computer vision.
My research and engineering work focuses on building complete robotic perception systems: acquiring RGB-D data, segmenting the scene, reconstructing 3D surfaces, registering point clouds and coordinate frames, and connecting perception outputs to real robotic platforms. I am especially interested in development-oriented medical robotics, where algorithms must be integrated, tested, and validated on real systems.
Across my projects, I have worked with ROS 2, MoveIt, Open3D, OpenCV, Python, C++, MATLAB, deep learning, point-cloud processing, haptic control, medical image processing, and KUKA robotic arms.

R&D Intern — Medical 3D Point-Cloud Registration
ICUBE Lab, RDH TeamMay 2025 – Aug 2025Worked on automatic detection of insufficient data for 3D point-cloud alignment in pre-operative to intra-operative registration. The project involved medical image preprocessing, anatomical segmentation, point-cloud generation, ICP-based registration, deep-learning feature testing, and robustness analysis under partial or noisy data.
Selected Projects
Research, coursework, and engineering projects in robotics, medical imaging, control, and navigation.
Medical Image-Based Registration & Data Quality Assessment
Developed a pipeline to evaluate whether intraoperative 3D point clouds contain enough information for reliable registration with preoperative MRI-derived anatomical models. Contributions included MRI preprocessing, brain and cortex segmentation, skull surface extraction, point-cloud conversion, ICP registration, and robustness analysis.
Robotic RGB-D Surface Reconstruction
Built a robotic scanning pipeline for acquiring RGB-D data, segmenting objects, refining depth information, fusing multiple views, reconstructing surfaces, and integrating the perception pipeline with robotic motion and coordinate-frame registration.
Medical Robot Registration Course Project
Implemented a simulation pipeline to guide a robotic surgical tool toward a target defined in endoscopic images. Work included 3D target reconstruction from 2D images, frame-to-frame registration, AX=XB transformation estimation, robot positioning, and visual servoing.
Haptics & Mechatronics ROS 2 Project
Implemented a haptic control loop for a planar robot, enabling force-feedback interaction with virtual walls and obstacles. The project involved Cartesian force control, torque computation from force setpoints, RViz visualization, and ROS 2 communication.
Electromagnetic Tracking for Assisted-Surgery Navigation
Research project exploring electromagnetic tracking for surgical navigation, with a concept based on excitation coils, magnetic sensors, field simulation, sensor-measurement modeling, and evaluation of pose-estimation robustness.
Self-Balancing Robot
Designed and implemented a self-balancing robot based on inverted-pendulum dynamics. The work included system modeling, linearization around the upright equilibrium, PID controller design and tuning in MATLAB/Simulink, embedded implementation, and IMU-based feedback.
