I am a postdoc at UC Berkeley in the Gallant Lab. I defended my Ph.D. in 2018, in the Image, Data, Signal department at Telecom ParisTech in France, supervised by Alexandre Gramfort and Yves Grenier. I graduated from Ecole polytechnique in 2013 and EPFL in 2015.

My work focuses on machine learning and signal processing for neuroscience.

I have been a core developer of scikit-learn since 2015.
