General Information

Bio

I graduated from Ecole Polytechnique (Palaiseau, France) in 2007 and from Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris in 2008 (double Ingénieur diploma in the French educational system). I obtained a University of Montpellier PhD in 2012, after spending my doctoral program for the full 4 years at AIST in Tsukuba, Japan, in the JRL lab. I subsequently held a 2-year JSPS postdoctoral fellowship position at ATR in Kyoto, Japan, and I worked during the following 2.5 years on the EU (European) FP7 project Koroibot and the the EU H2020 project COMANOID at the LIRMM lab in Montpellier, France, as a CNRS researcher. From 2016 to 2018, I held a full-time tenured Associate Professor at Université de Lorraine and Inria, with a part-time teaching position at Ecole Polytechnique. I joined Ecole Polytechnique full-time in the start of academic year 2018, before going on leave for an AI and ML scientist position at Amazon in Seattle, Washington, which is is my current position.
