I am currently a Research Scientist at Adobe Research in the London lab. I previously was an Associate Researcher in the Realistic Graphics and Imaging group of Imperial College London hosted by Abhijeet Ghosh.
I received my PhD at Inria Sophia-Antipolis from the GraphDeco research group under the supervision of Adrien Bousseau and George Drettakis in collaboration with Optis, an Ansys affiliate. My Thesis received the French Computer Graphics Thesis Award 2020 and UCA Academic Excellence Thesis Award 2020
During my PhD, I spent 2 great months in MIT under the supervision of Frédo Durand, at MIT CSAIL.
My research focuses on inverse rendering, with a special focus on appearance acquisition, creation, editing and representation for virtual environments.

Internships
Adobe Research Internship: I will be looking for strong PhD students to collaborate with for the 204 Adobe internship program. If you are interested in interning at Adobe with me (see my research interests above), don't hesitate to reach out (deschain@a***e.com) detailing what your research interests are, and what you would like to work on during the internship.
Past Interns
In recent years, I was happy to collaborate with great students in the context of Adobe's PhD Internship program!
