Robin Magnet
Postdoctoral Researcher · Inria Paris
I am currently a postdoc with Jean Feydy in the HeKA group at Inria Paris, where I work on shape and volume analysis with medical imaging, applied to bone fracture detection.
Before that, I obtained my PhD under the supervision of Maks Ovsjanikov at École Polytechnique (in the GeomeriX Team at LIX), studying scalable shape comparison using functional maps and spectral methods.
I am also the maintainer of pyFM, a Python library for functional maps computations.
