Hi!

I am an AI Research Scientist at Meta Superintelligence Labs - FAIR (Fundamental AI Research) in Paris. I completed my PhD at FAIR and École polytechnique, advised by Chuan Guo and Alain Durmus, and previously by Alexandre Sablayrolles and Pierre Stock.

My research focuses on privacy preserving machine learning, data protection, and watermarking, from Differential Privacy to media provenance. I am a core contributor to Meta Seal, Meta’s official provenance offering.

Prior to my PhD I studied at École polytechnique, majoring in computer science and mathematics. I also hold a Master’s degree from École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay where I studied Mathematics for vision and learning (MVA). I previously interned at Polytechnique Montreal Université de Montreal, on Reinforcement Learning for Constraint Programing, and at BNP-Paribas where I developed tools for fraud detection. I also spent 6 months as a civil servant in Hanoï (Vietnam) working with the director of USTH, a scientific university.
