About me

I am a 5th year PhD student working on reinforcement learning. I am interested in designing more transparent RL algorithms to improve their interpretability. In addition, I am interested in designing representations for reinforcement learning that can lead to stable and scalable algorithms when used with (non-linear) function approximation. I am also an engineer (MEng from École Centrale de Lille in 2017), and I received my MSc in applied mathematics (master MVA) from Université Paris-Saclay in 2018.

Research

Currently, my research interests include

  • Transparency and interpretability

  • Reinforcement learning

  • Representation learning
