Charles is a Lead Developer Engineer on the Scientific Visualization team at Kitware Europe. He joined Kitware in February 2016.

During the first 3 years, he worked on it PhD on “High performance level-set based topological data analysis” in cooperation with Sorbonne University. During the work, he became one of the main contributor of the TTK library.

After defending his thesis, Charles joined the Scientific Visualization team where he mainly works on maintaining VTK and TTK. His main subjects are high-performance computing, meshing and discrete geometry.

Charles is highly involved in Kitware’s training offer. He is always glad to provide training concerning visualization, data processing or topological data analysis.

Charles is involved in several reviewing committees: TVCG, LDAV, EGPGV, ISAV.
