I am an Assistant Professor in Computer Vision and Data Analysis at the University of Liège (ULiège), Belgium, where I founded the Vision and Information Understanding Laboratory (VIULab). I hold a degree in Electrical Engineering (2017) and completed my PhD in Computer Vision and AI at ULiège with support from the FNRS. During my postdoctoral research, I was a visiting researcher at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), working under the supervision of Prof. Marc Van Droogenbroeck and Prof. Bernard Ghanem.
My research focuses on advancing artificial intelligence for computer vision and video analysis. I explore a range of topics including perception on high-dimensional data, long-form video understanding, memory-augmented video neural networks, multimodal data fusion, and generative AI. These approaches are applied across various domains such as remote sensing, autonomous driving, and, most prominently, sports. I also co-organize international challenges on AI in sports through the SoccerNet platform, and regularly publish research on this topic.
To further promote our work and make it more accessible, I co-created a YouTube Channel with Adrien Deliège and Silvio Giancola, where we share insights and results from our research in computer vision.

In this video, we present our new SoccerNet Challenges for CVPR 2022! We introduce the three tasks of Calibration, Re-identification and Tracking on soccer games, in partnership with EVS Broadcast Equipment, SportRadar and Baidu Research. We also reiterate our previous Action Spotting and Replay Grounding Challenges at the ActivityNet workshop. Good luck fighting for the throne!
In this video, we present our paper: “Camera Calibration and Player Localization in SoccerNet-v2 and Investigation of their Representations for Action Spotting” published at the CVPR 2021 workshop CVsports. This work introduces a camera calibration and player localization algorithm for the SoccerNet-v2 dataset. Next, a method based on CALF is proposed to investigate different types of representations of this player localization for the task of action spotting.
