About

Bio

I was born in 1997 in Paris. Since then, I moved around France and Europe during my studies, spending some time in Toulouse, Berlin, Brussels, and currently finishing my PhD in Rennes.

Experience

• Oct. 2021 - Jan. 2025: CIFRE PhD at Groupe Créative, Inria - Rennes, France
  In 2021, I joined Groupe Créative and the Inria/IRISA Rainbow team to begin my PhD in the context of a CIFRE partnership. I worked on the topic of Autonomous Exploration in Unknown 3D Environments, focusing in particular on the planning and high-level decision aspects of exploration; I developped various planning methods and exploration strategies, deploying them in various simulated and real scenarios. The associated publications can be found under this site’s Publications page. This PhD work is to be defended in early 2025.
• Feb. 2021 - Oct. 2021: Pre-PhD engineering position at Inria - Rennes, France
• May 2020 - Oct. 2020: MSc research internship in robotics at LAAS-CNRS - Toulouse, France
  During my internship in the Gepetto team at LAAS, I worked on the SOLO quadruped robot to develop real-time self-collision avoidance methods. These methods were integrated in an on-board safety controller and published to the ICRA 2021 conference.
• Mar. 2019 - Aug. 2019: Space-oriented R&D internship in robotics at Space Applications Services - Zaventem, Belgium
  At Space Applications Services, my internship was related to the H2020 Pro-Act project, the goal of which was to develop an analogue demonstration system for lunar collaborative manipulation, with the long-term objective of developing in-situ resources utilization (ISRU). My work was focused on the development of simulation environments for the project, including robots, sensors and lunar terrain models.
• Sep. 2018 - Feb. 2019: Research internship in planetology at IRAP - Toulouse, France
  My first research experience was my internship at IRAP (Research Institute for Astrophysics and Planetology) during which I worked on identifying characteristic orbital events from the sensors data of Mars orbiters; the goal was to explore the usage of data-driven classifiers to identify “shock crossings”, i.e., transitions of the satellite between the solar wind and Mars atmosphere.
