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 starting around April 2027 (4–5 months), on topics at the intersection of privacy, statistical learning, and game theory. Candidates should have a strong mathematical background. The internship could lead to a PhD under my supervision, with dedicated funding available through my CPJ. Please see the full internship offer for details, and contact me directly by email if you are interested.
