About Me

I am an Assistant Professor (maître de conférences in French) in the Vertigo team at Cnam, Paris. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at EPFL, Switzerland, in the ECEO lab, advised by Devis Tuia. I obtained my PhD in computer science under the supervision of Sébastien Lefèvre, Bertrand Le Saux, and Alexandre Boulch, where I developed semi-supervised learning methods for semantic segmentation and classification.

My research 🤓 focuses on computer vision, representation learning, and multimodal learning, including (but not limited to) vision-and-language models.
