About me
I’m an Associate Professor at Université Côte d’Azur, and a member of the Probabilités and Statistiques Team of the Laboratoire Jean Alexandre Dieudonné.
Prior to this position, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Rutgers University, working with Mert Gürbüzbalaban. I completed my Ph. D. at the Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann (Grenoble - France), under the supervision of Jérôme Malick. My Ph.D. thesis can be found here.
Generally speaking, I am interested in optimization problems involving uncertainty and their applications, in both stochastic programming and machine learning. A common thread in my research is the design and analysis of numerical algorithms to address risk in data-driven applications, notably in Federated Learning (see the webpage of our recent project Δ-FL).
