Hi !

I’m a fourth and final year student at École Polytechnique (X2020). For my last year, I am attending a master degree from ENS Paris-Saclay in mathematics, vision and machine learning (MVA). I am currently an intern under the supervision of Francis Bach and Michael I. Jordan at INRIA.

Since popularizing science has helped me develop an appetence for the sciences, I want to develop popularization videos on Machine Learning topics that are accessible to all levels. I’m currently working on a series aimed at making the AlphaZero algorithm understandable to everyone.

Previously, I created an online mathematic course that you can access for free on YouTube. On the account, I corrected many exercices from Licence 1 to Licence 3, covering Probability, Algebra, Calculus and Complex Analysis. I also made some presentation about some mathematics concepts such as fractal or markov chain.

Outside work, I enjoy cooking (especially Japanese cuisine!), and climbing.
