Short bio

I am no longer working in academia and now work as a Data Scientist at Safran. Find out more on LinkedIn.

From 2021 to 2024, I was a PhD student at the IECL laboratory, Université de Lorraine (Nancy, France). My research focused on extending machine learning algorithms to non-Euclidean spaces and on the statistical analysis of time series. I was supervised by Prof. Marianne Clausel and Prof. Konstantin Usevich. Prior to that, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and a Master’s degree in Data Science, both from Sorbonne Université (Paris, France).

Research interests

My thesis focused on the use of the signature, a tool from rough paths theory, for time series analysis and statistical learning. This tool extract intrinsic information about multidimensional time series and more precisely the dependencies in variations along the space dimensions. Find here an introduction to this tool.
