Short bio
In September 2021, I started my PhD in the INRIA Saclay team OPIS, working under the supervision of Emilie Chouzenoux and Víctor Elvira.
I am interested in the minimization of Rényi divergences using ideas from information geometry and non-Euclidean optimization schemes, with applications in the fields of adaptive importance sampling, global optimization, and variational inference.
In 2020, I graduated from ENSTA Paris and from the Université Paris-Saclay Optimization master program.
During my master's thesis, I have worked with Alain Rapaport in the MISTEA team in Montpellier on questions related to the study and control of the periodic chemostat model. This model represents micro-organisms competing for a single limiting ressource that is fed in a periodic manner.
I have then continued working on related biological models with Jérôme Harmand during a short-term research engineer position at the LBE in Narbonne.
I also interned in 2019 at the UTFSM in Valparaíso, where I studied under the direction of Cristopher Hermosilla and Pedro Gajardo the continuity properties of the set of sustainable thresholds, a set-valued operator linked to viability kernels.
