About

My name’s Nolan Mestres. I am a post-doc within the Maverick research team (Jean Kuntzmann Laboratory, Inria Grenoble). My work focuses on expressive rendering, taking inspiration from the case study of the haind-painted panorama maps of Pierre Novat. This is a follow-up work of the PhD thesis I did under the supervision of Joëlle Thollot and Romain Vergne, at Université Grenoble Alpes. Before that, during my Master’s, I did my graduation internship under the supervision of Imari Sato, at the National Institute of Informatics (Tokyo, Japan), working on spectral rendering and fluorescence.
