About Me

  • I am a final-year PhD student at Mila.
  • My research broadly focuses on understanding the principles behind how and why deep learning models work, in particular from a data-driven perspective with a current focus on sequence models. As of late, I focus on various foundation model paradigms (attention, linear models, diffusion, tabular models) and how they manipulate information in order to generate faithful and trustworthy responses that can be statistically validated. Additionally, I am intested in more grounded evaluation of such models through proper uncertainty quantification and calibration.
  • On a more applied side, I also dabble in front-facing and system-level research, such as agentic systems and efficient kernel-level programming.
  • I am grateful to have been supported by NSERC, FRQNT, Hydro-Québec, 日本学術振興会 and various institutional scholarships during my studies, allowing me to conduct research on topics of personal fulfillment and interest.
  • I anticipate graduating in the 2026-2027 academic year and am looking for industrial research scientist (or post-doctoral) positions; if you see a fit within your group, please do not hesitate to contact me. References are available upon request.
