Biography

Hugues Vinzant is a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Geneva. He holds a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). His research is focused on artificial intelligence data science applications in biomechanics. Hugues co-founded a startup dedicated to developing AI algorithms for posture and gait analysis to improve rehabilitation and prevention strategies. Currently, he is involved in the Metathesis project, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, which bridges the Data Mining and Machine Learning (DMML) group at the University of Applied Sciences in Geneva with the Kinesiology Lab at the University of Geneva. His research aims to integrate AI into biomechanical modeling of pathological gait, supporting treatment selection for children with cerebral palsy. Additionally, Hugues explores replicating human locomotion through motion capture sequences using generative imitation learning approaches that account for the physical constraints of human biomechanics.
