Ségolène Martin

I am working as a postdoctoral researcher at TU Berlin (Math+), in the image analysis team headed by Prof. Gabriel Steidl and in collaboration with Prof. Hanno Gottschalk. My current research is at the intersection of optimization, optimal transport and generative learning, with applications to image processing and computer vision.

Prior to that, I was a PhD student in applied mathematics at CentraleSupélec, Université Paris-Saclay, in the CVN / OPIS Inria team. My PhD was under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Christophe Pesquet (CVN, CentraleSupélec) and Prof. Ismail Ben Ayed (ILLS, ETS Montréal). I defended my thesis Variational methods for large scale data problems in imaging on January 26th, 2024.
