I am a PhD student in the GeomeriX team at École Polytechnique, advised by Prof. Maks Ovsjanikov. My research sits at the intersection of Computer Graphics, Geometric Deep Learning, Geometry Processing, and Optimization, with a focus on 3D shape comparison.

During my PhD, I interned at Adobe Research, where I worked on feed-forward diffusion models for text-to-3D scene generation.

Before that, I earned a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics and Machine Learning from ENS Paris and a Master's degree in Computer Science and Machine Learning from CentraleSupélec.
