I did my PhD in Mathematics and Computer Science at Inria Grenoble. My doctoral work within the Bipop research team focused on the numerical mechanics of thin elastic structures in contact. I also taught several applied math courses at ENSIMAG in the Grenoble Institute of Technology.
I’m currently a Machine Learning Engineer in industry and have worked in the Autonomous Driving and Healthcare areas.
Below is a list of my publications.
