Professor, CMAP, Ecole Polytechnique

Welcome to my website!

I am professor at Ecole Polytechnique and a member of the applied mathematics department (CMAP).

My research interests are in the field of computational statistics and machine learning. I am particularly interested in the development of Monte Carlo and stochastic methods for Bayesian inference and generative models. I am also interested in the development of stochastic approximation schemes for the solution of optimization or fixed-point problems.

• Monte Carlo methods, Markov chains Monte Carlo methods, variational inference, distributed Monte Carlo methods.

• Stochastic optimization and approximation, Riemannian stochastic optimization

• Theory and analysis of Markov processes

• Generative modelling

• Bayesian statistics and inverse problems
