Don't hesitate to reach out if you think I would be a good addition to your lab or simply if you want to chat about research!
I am a fifth year Ph.D student supervised by Simon Lacoste-Julien.
I have graduated from Université de Montréal with a Bachelor's
degree in Mathematics and Economics.
I now work on causal structure learning and causal representation learning.
More details can be found in my resume.
