On June 19th and 20th, we held our plenary session in Reims.
Article accepted
Our article about “Quasi-Static Cosserat Rods in Contact with Implicit Surfaces”, by Radhouane Jilani, Pierre-Frédéric Villard and Erwan Kerrien (Inria NGE) was just accepted to IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters!
Best poster prize for Esther Fontaine
Esther Fontaine received the best poster prize for 1st year PhD students during the 2024 Annual Meeting of the MPSNI Doctoral School of Université Reims Champagne Ardennes. This prize was awarded by the Digital Engineering Sciences Division.

Paper accepted
Our paper about “Solving Dynamic Cosserat Rods with Frictional Contact Using the Shooting Method and Implicit Surfaces”, by Radhouane Jilani, Pierre-Frédéric Villard and Erwan Kerrien (Inria NGE) was just accepted to IROS 2024!
New intern student
Pauline Bonnet has recently started her M1 internship at the Loria lab. She will work on the simulation of a catheter with physics-informed neural networks (WP2). Welcome to the team Pauline!
Fourth plenary session in Nancy
New paper published
The paper “OpenCCO: An Implementation of Constrained Constructive Optimization for Generating 2D and 3D Vascular Trees” was just published in the Image Processing On Line (IPOL) journal. This is a joint work of Nicolas Passat (CReSTIC, Reims, PreSPIN partner) with Bertrand Kerautret (LIRIS, Lyon), Phuc Ngo (Loria, Nancy), Hugues Talbot (CentraleSupélec, Paris-Saclay) and Clara Jaquet.
Paper accepted
Our paper about “An Orthogonal Collocation Method for Static and Dynamic Cosserat Rods”, by Radhouane Jilani, Pierre-Frédéric Villard and Erwan Kerrien (Inria NGE) was just accepted to IROS 2023!
Third plenary session in Reims
New project engineer
François Régis Hammer was recently hired to work at Creatis lab. He will work on blood vessel modeling (WP1) and its use for CFD computations in order to improve the simulation of perfusion MRI images (WP3). Welcome to the team François Régis!
