Joining my team?
I am always looking for outstanding and highly motivated people to join my team as interns, PhD students, post-doctorates or research engineers in the following areas:
- optimization for machine learning (including federated learning, privacy, etc.)
- high dimensional and robust statistics
I always have open positions for outstanding applicants. The application process is light:
- Send me an email with your CV, transcript of most recent grades (for interns and PhD students) and explain in a paragraph why you are interested to join my group.
- After preliminary feedback on my side, I will ask you to secure two reference letters (one is enough for interns or PhD students) to be sent directly to me.
- At this stage an interview (possibly online) will be arranged to double check your skills and profile compatibility.
Short Bio
Since 2018, I am a full professor at Université de Montpellier and an associate member at INRIA Parietal Team. For the spring and summer quarters 2018, I was a visiting assistant professor at UW, Statistics departement. From 2012 to 2018 I was an assistant professor at Telecom ParisTech. Back in 2011 and 2012, I was a post-doctoral Associate at Duke university working with Rebecca Willett.
In 2010, I finished my PHD in statistics and image processing under the supervision of Dominique Picard and Erwan Le Pennec at the Laboratoire de Probabilités et de Modélisation Aléatoire, now LPSM, in Université Paris Diderot.
