About Me

I am a final-year PhD candidate in the IDS Department at ESSEC Business School, working with Pierre E. Jacob and Pierre Alquier. Prior to that, I received an Engineering Degree from Mines Paris PSL University. Before that, I obtained the Master MVA (Mathématiques, Vision, Apprentissage) at ENS Paris-Saclay, and I also hold an MSc in Statistical Science from the Department of Statistics, University of Oxford.

Research Interests

My research interests lie in computational statistics and Bayesian inference. I focus on unbiased MCMC methods using coupling techniques, PAC-Bayesian theory for robust statistical inference, and variational approximations. My goal is to develop scalable, theoretically grounded algorithms for computational statistics and machine learning.
