Biography

I am a researcher at Helsing. I work on multi-agent reinforcement learning.

Before that, I was a senior research scientist at Criteo, working on bandits and reinforcement learning. I also conducted applied research on representation learning, and worked with engineering teams around optimal control topics.

I received my PhD in October 2021. I was lucky to be supervised by Olivier Fercoq and Marc Abeille.
