About

I am currently pursuing a PhD at Thales Research & Technology, Ecole Polytechnique and Sorbonne University under the supervision of Benjamin Doerr (CNRS/LIX), Carola Doerr (CNRS/LIP6) and Johann Dreo (Thales).

The area of this project is between Optimization and Machine Learning for Defense purposes.

I received a master of science degree (diplôme d’ingénieur) from the National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA) in France. I had the opportunity to work on a research project at MBDA France using Game Theory and Optimization for Defense purposes.

Research Interests

  • Optimization
  • Search Heuristics
  • Algorithm Selection and Configuration
  • Machine Learning
  • Game Theory
