I believe that one of the current challenges in computer animation is the modeling and the simulation of plausible anatomical characters.
My research focuses on technologies merging:
- physics-based animation, to naturally manage the physical behavior of the human body,
- soft body deformation, to take into account the continuum mechanics effects of human tissues, and
- musculoskeletal simulation, to actively actuate the virtual humans through muscle forces.
