Statement
My main goal is to give life to mathematical concepts, by means of pictures or 3D objects, printed or build, using adequate techniques. I find an equal interest in translating mathematical objects into real things than in finding and learning the better method to realize it.

I presented a paper at Bridges 2015, dealing with several representations of Dupin cyclides, using 3D printing. I wanted to build by hands other representations of cyclides. The first one is made with wired iron circles. A long process, with the invention of several techniques made it possible to achieve it. Then I wanted to build one out of fabrics, and after several tries and errors, I came with the model on the right. Diairies of my tries are logged on my flickr account.
Should I have had more time, I would have written a paper about those odysseys.
