About me

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the LITIS laboratory working with Professors Maxime Bérar, Gilles Gasso and Alain Rakotomamonjy. I am involved in the OATMIl Project, that aims at bridging optimal transport and machine learning.

Prior to that, I was a laureate of the postdoctoral fellowship program DIM Math Innov Région Ile-de-France for one year (2017-2018). I was hosted in the laboratory Modal'X of Paris Nanterre University working with Professor Olga Klopp on collective matrix completion project.

I received my PhD in Statistics & Machine Learning from University of Pierre and Marie Curie (UPMC) on June 27th 2016 under the mentorship of Professors Stéphane Gaïffas and Agathe Guilloux. My doctoral thesis is centered around studying supervised learning using weighted total-variation penalization.
