From learning to optimize to learning optimization algorithms (2024)

I am an associate professor ("maître de conférences" in french) in optimization and machine learning at the mathematical institute of the university of Bordeaux (IMB).
From 2022 to 2024, I was a postdoc at the University of Tübingen, working on the TRINOM-DS project led by Peter Ochs and Jalal Fadili. Prior to that, I wrote my PhD thesis (available here) at the IRIT laboratory in Toulouse (supervised by Cédric Févotte, Edouard Pauwels and Jérôme Bolte). I was a member of the FACTORY project.
My research focuses on optimization algorithms for machine learning (mainly second-order methods with application to deep learning), and learning optimization algorithms.
