Research
My research deals essentially with the analysis of highly irregular data through the notions of scale invariance and
multifractal analysis.
Recently, I also started exploring applications of the scattering transform.
I am also interested in machine learning techniques for sparse learning.

Software
mf_bs_tool: P-leader multifractal analysis
This MATLAB toolbox implements multifractal analysis methods based on wavelet leaders and p-leaders, as described in (Wendt et al. 2007), (Wendt et al. 2009), (Jaffard et al. 2016), and (Leonarduzzi et al. 2016).
Main features:
- User-friendly class-based interface
- Analysis of 1D data or grayscale images.
- Estimation of scaling function, multifractal spectrum, and log-cumulants.
- Choice of multiresolution quantities: wavelet coefficients, leaders, p-leaders, MF-DFA.
- Bootstrap based confidence intervals and tests.
- Automatic selection of scaling range (Leonarduzzi et al. 2014).
- Automatic analysis of a collection of data (folder, file list, Monte Carlo simulation)
- Detailed demos for all toolbox features
The toolbox is written entirely in Matlab, with a key section in C that can be optionally compiled for improved speed and memory performance.
Demo
rangesel: Scaling range selection
This software is outdated. A new version is bundled in the p-leader based multifractal analysis toolbox presented before.
Performs the bootstrap-based scaling range selection algorithm for wavelet leader multifractal analysis, as described in this paper. Works with legacy versions of the wavelet-leader multifractal analysis toolbox WLBMF.
matlab_fig_printing
Matlab toolbox for convenient printing of publication quality figures.
Main features:
- Simple interface for printing.
- Creation of figure of actual size, that needs not be scaled when included in the document.
- Fixed font size in all text within the figure to ensure it remains readable when included.
- Automatic cropping of margins.
