About me
I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki and the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence (FCAI), where I worked with Prof. Kai Puolamäki and Assoc. Prof. Arto Klami. I earned my PhD from the University of Lorraine, France, under the supervision of Prof. Hoai-An Le Thi and Prof. Hoai Minh Le. Before that, I earned a Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics with highest honors from Sorbonne Paris Nord University. My research lies at the intersection of optimization (nonconvex, stochastic, Riemannian), statistical methods (sampling, Gaussian processes), and machine learning, with a strong emphasis on theoretical development.
