Present situation
Credit to Kaspar Ravel for this picture.
On a predoctoral research year before starting a Ph.D under the supervision of Stanislas Dehaene at Collège de France. Working title: “The cognitive representation of structured sequences: an exploration of humans’ outstanding capacity for abstraction through non representative geometry”.
- First semester within the Institut Jean Nicod at École Normale Supérieure working on on a confirmation based approach of reasoning — namely ETR with extra Bayesian bits — under the supervision of Salvador Mascarenhas. Article(s) in prep.
- Second semester at the Brain and Cognitive Science center of MIT under the supervision of Josh Tenenbaum, on program induction and a DSL for geometry.

Other occupations of my time
Climbing
Whenever I can, here and there, cliffs, rocks, indoor, boulder or just trees.
Tinkering
Playing around breaking stuff to understand how it works. A few selected examples:
- Ocarust (later)
- DeepL (later)
Reading, traveling around, listening to some music
Publications
Peer reviewed articles
In prep.

Academic Reports
Structural compression of visual input?
- Visual Sequence Primitives in Humans, 2017, internship report from my work in the NeuroSyntax team of the UniCog lab in NeuroSpin, under the supervision of Stanislas Dehaene.
- Toward an unstaging translation for an environment classifier based multi-staged language, 2015, internship report from work supervised by Luke Ong in Oxford’s Computer Science Department.
- Algorithmes de recommandation séquentielle, 2014, internship report with INRIA Lille’s team SequeL, supervised by Romaric Gaudel.
Misc & Non Serious
Spare time electronic stuff.
- I quite enjoy electronics from time to time. The documentation (non serious!) for a small project I realised during my time at NeuroSpin — reverse engineer a food distribution system to interface it with a computer through USB.
- A course from CogMaster was validated through a mini thesis. It’s about Mathematical Intuitions and Monsters (in French).
