I am a third-year PhD student at EPFL, advised by Rachid Guerraoui. I am currently a visiting researcher at Stanford University, with Sanmi Koyejo. I previously graduated from Ecole polytechnique in Mathematics and Computer Science in 2021, with a research internship at Amazon. My research interests lie in trustworthy machine learning, with a focus on the theoretical aspects of robustness and privacy in distributed settings.
