About

I am a research scientist at the Naver Labs Europe lab, where I am part of the vision representation learning group.

Prior to this, I was a Ph.D. student at valeo.ai and the IRISA OBELIX lab, working on domain adaptation for 3D data. My Ph.D. advisor was Prof. Nicolas Courty who co-advised me with Alexandre Boulch. I also collaborated closely with Gilles Puy, Tuan-Hung Vu, and Renaud Marlet in my research. I defended in October 2025. The published thesis, with the title "Domain adaptation for 3D data", can be found here.

I graduated from the Institut Polytechnique Paris with a Master's degree and a thesis on "Zero-shot learning for 3D data". My final year was the M2 Mathematics, Vision, and Apprenticeship (MVA) after completing the Computer Science M1 at the Ecole Polytechnique. I earned my Bachelor's degree from the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University in a joint study program with the Robert Bosch GmbH.

Research interests: Computer vision, frugal learning and multimodality.
