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).
