About

I am a postdoctoral researcher in robotics at LAAS-CNRS (Toulouse, France), working with Nicolas Mansard. Currently, I am most interested in zero-order optimization techniques and in how they connect to reinforcement learning algorithms.

Before that, I completed a brief postdoc and my PhD at New York University, where I was supervised by Ludovic Righetti and Justin Carpentier. During my PhD, I developed efficient numerical optimization solvers to make Model Predictive Control more robust and risk-aware.

My research interests include optimal control, numerical optimization for robotics, estimation, and robot learning. Here is a list of the main research projects I have been involved in.
