Sylvain Colomer is a postdoctoral fellow in artificial intelligence and robotics. His research interests include machine learning, robotic navigation, and computer vision, with a particular emphasis on a bio-inspired approach. He is currently affiliated with the Ensminger lab at the University of Toronto Mississauga, where he is engaged in the delineation of trees on forest canopies using machine learning methods.

Before joining the Ensminger lab, Sylvain worked as a temporary teacher-researcher in the field of robotic navigation at the University of CY Cergy-Paris. During this period, he collaborated with Olivier Romain, Nicolas Cuperlier, and Guillaume Bresson on navigation challenges for autonomous vehicles. This research builds upon his doctoral thesis at the VEDECOM research institute, where he focused on developing novel robotic navigation models inspired by animal cognition.

On a personal level, Sylvain is an enthusiast of music, sports, and cooking. He particularly enjoys contact sports such as ice hockey, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, or boxing.
