The PIML Day was a succes !

We organized a day of symposium together with Hugo Gangloff, Nicolas Jouvin and Mathilde Mougeot, at AgroParisTech on April, 15.

70 researchers from across France gathered to discuss methodological and theoretical advances in Physics-Informed Machine Learning, featuring six inspiring keynotes and a poster session.

M2 internships 2026

In spring 2026 I’m tutoring two M2 interns in MIA Paris-Saclay:

Both are currently seeking PhD opportunities in Statistics and Machine Learning applied to environmental and biological sciences, starting in September 2026. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any available positions or leads!

My first PhD student

In October 2025 I welcomed in my team the PhD student Alexandre Loret, under the supervision of Thomas Romary, Nicolas Desassis (Mines Paris) and myself. His PhD is funded by the Geolearning chair.

He will tackle the computational challenges of the inference of complex spatio-temporal models, exploring different techniques in Deep Learning.

Let this new adventure begin!

Research

An incomplete list of research topics I’m interested in:

  • Spatio-temporal statistics
  • Stochastic Partial Differential Equations
  • Deep generative models
  • Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs)

Teaching

I teach statistics (Linear and non-linear models, Machine Learning, Spatial Statistics, Bayesian Statistics…) at undergraduate and graduate students at AgroParisTech, Master 2 MSV Master 2 BEE of University Paris Saclay, Mines Paris and Master 2 BEE of AgroParisTech and University of Guyana.
