About
I work on world models and generative modeling, with the aim of building general-purpose robots that learn and adapt in real settings. I completed the M2 Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at Université Paris-Saclay in 2026, and the coursework of CentraleSupélec’s Engineering Degree in Mathematics and Data Science.
From January 2027, I join Yuejiang Liu’s LEMA group at the National University of Singapore for a six-month research position in robot learning. Before that, I worked as an apprentice: Generative AI Engineer at MBDA from 2025 to 2026, and Data Scientist at TotalEnergies’ Digital Factory from 2023 to 2025, on electric-vehicle charging. This site covers only public research and deliberately excludes non-public professional work.
Outside research
Most of my free time goes to history and geopolitics. I like the periods when energy, industry and logistics changed what a country could do: the Industrial Revolution, the Second World War as a contest of production, the Cold War, the globalization of supply chains. I also read about strategy and the defense industry, from Clausewitz to the Cold War.
Economics and finance come with it: growth, money and markets decide what gets built and where. I like to understand how a price actually forms in a market, and how capital moves between industries and countries.
Physics is the other side. I studied quantum and materials physics at CentraleSupélec, and I still follow quantum mechanics and the physics of semiconductors, the layer under every chip.
I follow politics through institutions: how a decision is actually made, and who pays for it. I think about ecology the same way, as a system with physical limits that reacts to what we do.
