Since 2021, I am a PhD candidate at MBZUAI in Machine Learning, in Abu Dhabi, UAE, under the supervision of Dr. Bin Gu, with an expected graduation date of June 2024. I am currently working on optimization for machine learning, in particular on zeroth-order optimization, and sparse learning. Before that, I graduated with an MSc. from Supélec in 2016 (now part of CentraleSupelec and Paris Saclay University), and have worked at Sidetrade as a data scientist (2016-2017), at Inria in the Magnet Team as a research engineer (2017-2019), and at Huawei in the Paris Research and Algorithmic Lab as a PhD student (2019-2021).
