I’m PhD Candidate, working at the Perception Team - INRIA Rhone Alpes (Grenoble 2004-2008) under the supervision of Radu Horaud. My current research interests concern the registration and segmentation of Articulated Shapes trough spectral embedding methods. I’ve previously work on a project to estimate the Sparse Scene-Flow of a scene (tracking of 3-D points and surfels) from image sequences obtained with a multiple-camera set-up. I’ve also studied the segmentation of the resultant scene-flow trajectories in groups of coherent motion.

Before coming to France, I got an Electronic Engineer BsC, (Bogota-Colombia 1996-2002). Then I completed a research master (DEA) in Automation Systems (Toulouse 2003-2004). During this time, I made an internship at the LAAS laboratory - RIA team, under the direction of Michel Devy and in colaboration with Gabriel Avina. My previous research work pointed to robotics applications devoted to localization and visual navigation.
