Bio

I am a current Master's student in Computer Science (AI Track) at Stanford University, where I am advised by Christopher Gregg. I graduated in 2022 from Ecole Polytechnique (France) where I obtained my Engineering degree (M.S. equivalent) in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics (Image, Vision, and Learning track). Before that, I followed the French CPGE system (PT) at Lycée Jean-Baptiste Say (France), where I graduated as valedictorian (2500 candidates) in 2019.

I currently work at the Stanford CRFM (Center for Research on Foundation Models on the HELM project under the supervision of Percy Liang.
