Curriculum Vitæ
I obtained a double-degree in computer science from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago and the French Civil Aviation University in Toulouse (ENAC). There I specialized in machine learning, and did my Master thesis on the topic of automatic intrusion detection in aeronautical communications.
I continued to study artificial intelligence with a PhD in applied mathematics at the ENAC, where I developped a method for computing the Green's function of the Laplacian.
During my PhD, I also started a Master's degree in astrophysics at the Université Toulouse III. I did my Master thesis at the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie on the topic of Faraday tomography of the Interstellar Medium.
I joined the University of Geneva in fall 2019 in the team of Stéphane Paltani, where I investigated ways of improving templates to perform photometric redshift in preparation of the Euclid mission.
Since 2021, I have been teaching, doing outreach, and creating educational material for various audiences.
