Summary

Mathematician Specializing in Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence

I am a normalien at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Paris, currently pursuing a master’s in Maths-Vision-Learning (MVA) at Université Paris-Saclay, an esteemed program focused on applied mathematics and AI. My research centers on modeling executive functions, specifically how humans make adaptive decisions. I utilize advanced mathematical methods and machine learning techniques to develop robust, generalizable models.

Technical Expertise: I am particularly interested in reverse engineering and applying mathematical theories to real-world problems. I seek collaborations that allow me to deepen my research and explore new ideas.

Artistic Engagement: In addition to my academic pursuits, I have been a violinist and amateur pianist for over sixteen years, and I sing baritone. I have also recently taken up the trumpet in the ENS brass band. My passion for dance includes tango, waltz, east coast swing, and rock, which I have taught—highlighting my interest in the dynamics of human interaction through movement.
Equestrian Background: A confirmed horse rider with a Galop 5 level, I appreciate how equestrian discipline and dance share principles of balance, coordination, and communication, which are essential in my research projects.

:writing_hand:️ Creative Initiatives: As the founder of the ENS writing club, I value the importance of clear and impactful communication of complex ideas.

Open to Collaboration and Consulting Opportunities: I invite you to connect with me to discuss innovative projects in the fields of cognitive science and artificial intelligence.

Research intern - maths applied to evolutionary psychology

CNRS

From February 2021 to June 2021

Within the Evolution and Social Cognition team and the Jean Nicod Institute (CNRS, ENS, EHESS), I worked, under the direction of Pr. Jean-Baptiste André and Julien Lie, to explain through evolutionary theory how we decide to trust, or not, someone else.
To do this, I use the theory of the honest signal. It seeks to explain and model how our past actions influence the perception that others have of us.
It is a subject at the interface between evolutionary biology, anthropology, sociology, economics (from which the first models came), theoretical computer science, cognitive science and of course, mathematics, since my work is concretely to make models based on game theory, functional analysis and probabilities …
