Ph.D. | Machine Learning Scientist
I am a teaching and research assistant at UVSQ – Université Paris-Saclay, affiliated with the Probability and Statistics team at the Laboratory of Mathematics of Versailles (CNRS – UMR 8100), and an associate member of the A3 team at the LIPN (CNRS – UMR 7030) Computer Science Laboratory. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Université Paris-Saclay in November 2025. I received my Master’s degree in Mathematics and Applications, specializing in Statistics, from Sorbonne University in 2021.

During my Ph.D. at the DAVID laboratory, I first focused on scaling MCMC inference algorithms for Dirichlet Process Mixture Models applied to clustering, as well as on Bayesian nonparametric latent block models for co-clustering. In a second phase, I studied the stability of the EM algorithm applied to spherical Gaussian mixture models.
My current research now develops along two complementary directions. The first aims to extend and deepen the topics explored during my Ph.D., while the second addresses broader questions in statistical learning and deep learning, particularly the regularization of neural networks to improve their generalization and robustness.
