( 🔊 "Zvagié" with the French accent 🇫🇷 )
I am a postdoctoral researcher in random matrix theory at IRIT, Signal & Communications Group, working with Henrique Goulart and Xiaoyi Mai on large tensor models for machine learning (ANR LATENT).
Previously, I was a PhD student in geometric statistics at Inria under the supervision of Xavier Pennec (ERC G-Statistics). I defended my thesis (Rethinking statistical methods with flags) in November 2025. I graduated from École des Mines de Paris - PSL and École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay (Master MVA) in 2022.
I am always glad to discuss my research or any topic related to machine learning, image processing and more generally applied mathematics.
