About me

I am a PhD student at INRIA in the AIRSEA team located in the Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann under the supervision of Martin Schreiber and Olivier Zahm.
The work of my PhD is about the approximation of probability densities using compositional transport based methods. For this work, I am collaborating with Tiangang Cui.

Beside working on my PhD topic itself, I am passionate about the application of statisitics (and math in general) to solve problems in other fields, for which I have been collaborating with other researchers.

Collaborations with...

  • Tiangang Cui on compositional transport based methods.
    • Sequential transport maps using SoS density estimation and α-divergences [pdf]
  • Jia Chen on sparse inference methods for estimation of GHG emissions.
    • Recovery of sparse urban greenhouse gas emissions [pdf]
  • Manolis Perrot and Florian Lemarié on calibration of ocean surface parameterizations.
