About Me

Hello! I am a research scientist at NaverLabs Europe within the Spatial AI time. I am working on the development of new algorithms for robots navigation and spatial AI.

I did my PhD in Deep learning for physics simulation and control theory, and my background is electrical engineering and signal processing. I am also an "agrégé" teacher in engineering and computer science.

I also have a guilty pleasure with overly animated slides, and fancy project pages...

Interests

Misc

I have successfully defended my PhD ! Here is a link to the manuscript, and the (unnecessarily fancy) slides of my defense.

The slides are made using reveal.js, and the animations are made using d3.js. The code is publicly available (on my github page). Don't hesitate to tell me (mail or X (Twitter)) if you find a way of reusing it for your own presentations !

I made an online tool to explore ArXiv papers and authors in IA: Go check it out!
