About Me
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Toulouse School of Economics (TSE), where I hold a Chaire de Professeur Junior (CPJ).
My research explores the interplay between privacy, statistical learning, and economic incentives.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Inria FairPlay team at CREST, ENSAE, working with Vianney Perchet.
I completed my PhD in the Scool team (previously SequeL) at Inria Lille under the supervision of Debabrota Basu and Philippe Preux.
Prior to my PhD, I graduated from École Polytechnique and ENS Paris-Saclay.
You can find my PhD thesis here. The slides of my PhD presentation are also available here.
Open Position
I am looking for a Master’s student for a research internship this summer (~April 2027, ~5/6 months), on topics at the intersection of statistics, AI alignment, and economics. Candidates should have a strong mathematical background. The internship could lead to a PhD under my supervision, funded through my CPJ. If you are interested, please contact me directly by email.
