About me
Since October 2021, I am a PhD student at LaBRI, Université de Bordeaux, under the supervision of Nathanaël Fijalkow and was also under the supervision of Laurent Simon until April 2022. I graduated from ENSEIRB-MATMECA in September 2021 with a major in AI. Mentor of Clara Marcille.

Feel free to send me a mail just to chat about some interesting work, not necessarily yours!
Research Interests
- Program Synthesis, Code Generation
- Improving the software development pipeline
- Comparative performance of algorithm performances or managing performance variability
- Reinforcement Learning
- Machine Learning tools that can help reduce environmental impact
Honestly everything’s interesting there’s just not enough time but I would like to emphasize that I am more interested in research that stands the test of time (for time = some years not a few months).
