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. For more information about my educational background you can browse my resume.
Open positions 2022-2023
Internships in the context of stylized panorama maps
Supervised by Joëlle Thollot, Romain Vergne, Fabrice Neyret, Kenneth Vanhoey, and myself, depending on the chosen topic.
- generalization of GIS data (filtering, smoothing, LoD,…)
- rendering of cartographic elements (trees, rock, roads, buildings)
- semi-automatic terrain deformation (human-computer interaction, optimization problem)
- open to proposals within this framework!
Location: Maverick research team, Inria Grenoble, France
