đź‘‹ About Me
Postdoc in ML & Maths | PhD in Applied Maths | ENS Lyon
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Centre Inria d’Université Côte d’Azur and Laboratoire J.A. Dieudonné. My current work focuses on Control theory for neural network analysis, Physics-Informed Machine Learning and AI4Materials, with keen interests in quantum computing and quantitative finance.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Institut Elie Cartan de Lorrane and Institut Jean Lamour, University of Lorraine. I received my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at Institut Camille Jordan, University of Lyon. My manuscript can be found here.đź“Ł News

♦️ Misc
In my spare time, i enjoy studying and playing Bridge, a probabilistic trick-taking card game. My system based on Precision Club and Symmetric Relay can be found here.
I also enjoy puzzle solving. For instance, my solutions to Advent of Challenge 2025
