François Bailly


I am a research scientist at INRIA inside the Camin team. I work on human motion analysis using advanced robotics and numerical optimization tools, with neuroprostheses control as main target application.

Bio: From 2019 to 2021, I was a postdoc at Université de Montréal, working with Mickael Begon on biomechanical motion optimization. In 2018, I obtained my PhD in the Gepetto team at LAAS-CNRS supervised by Philippe Souères and Bruno Watier. In 2015, I graduated from École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics.

On-going projects: In 2023, I have been awarded an ANR JCJC grant for the B-IRD project, on fast and reliable biomechanical methods dedicated to assistive technologies. Since 2023 I am part of the european EIC Pathfinder AI-HAND project led by INRIA on implanted neuroprosthese for hand movement restoration. Since 2022 I am part of the FLAG-ERA JCT 2021 Rescuegraph project led by UAB on functional stimulation system using graphene-based nerve electrodes.
