Welcome to my webpage!
I am an Assistant Professor at INSEAD in the Decision Sciences area. I officially joined in September 2019 (but was around campus from September 2018 to December 2018).
Prior to September 2019, I was lucky enough to be a postdoc under Laurent Massoulie in the DYOGENE team at INRIA from January 2019 to September 2019.
I did my PhD studies at Princeton University, in the department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering, where I was also a Gordon Y. S. Wu fellow. I received my PhD in May 2018 under the fantastic supervision of Amir Ali Ahmadi. I received my Bachelor of Science from Ecole Centrale Paris, France, in 2011 and my Master of Science from the same university in 2013.
