Education 2003 - Jan. 2005 University of Basel, Switzerland - Philosophical Doctorate: ’A Multi-Features Algorithm to Fit a 3D Model to Facial Images’ (’Magna cum Laude’). 1995 - 1996 Master of Science in Electronics Engineering at the University of Glasgow (Honors) - part of the European student exchange program ’ERASMUS’. MSc thesis: ’Face Recognition using Principal Components Analysis’. 1991 - 1996 Electronics Engineer at the ’Universit´e Libre de Bruxelles’ (’Distinction’). 1984 - 1991 High school diploma (’Lyc´ee Daschbeck’ - Brussels). Employment Jan 2005 - to date Research assistant in the Graphics and Vision Research Group, University of Basel. I worked on using 3D statistical prior model for accurate landmark point detection. I co-supervised three PhD students. 2000 - 2003 Researcher at the University of Freiburg, Germany. I worked on fitting of 3D face model to images. Mar - Jun 2000 Internship at Microsoft Research Cambridge, development of the patent ’Pattern Detection Methods and Systems, and Face Detection Methods and Systems’ with Andrew Blake, Philip Torr and Bernhard Sch¨olkopf. 1998 - 2000 Researcher at the University ofWestminster, England. I developed 2D shape and texture model fitting algorithms to analyze face images. 1996 - 1998 Software Engineer at Alcatel Telecom. I was responsible of the software development of a module of a telecommunication device (a multiplexer).
