About Me

I am currently a PhD student at IMAGINE (Institut Polytechnique de Paris) and Willow (Inria), supervised by Vincent Lepetit and Shizhe Chen, funded by the ERC Advanced Grant explorer.

My research interests lie primarily in spatial intelligence. Before my PhD, I graduated with highest honors (mention très bien) from Mathematics, Vision, and Learning (MVA) master program at ENS Paris Saclay.

I am actively seeking internship opportunities and available to start at any time. Feel free to reach out!
