PhD Student in Machine Learning and Statistical Physics at EPFL.

About Me

I’m a PhD student at EPFL working at the intersection of high-dimensional statistics, computer science, and statistical physics. I study robust and adversarial learning in high dimensions and work on making statistical-physics methods rigorous; I was also an intern at G-Research.

I am lucky to be mentored by Florent Krzakala and to share the lab with all the other IdePHICS memebers.

Outside of my research I spend most of my time climbing either small rocks, medium walls or big mountains. I also enjoy reading and listening to music.

Research Interests
