I am a senior CNRS researcher located at the LCQB lab of Sorbonne Université in Paris.
I work on machine learning and statistics to answer questions in genomics. I am particularly interested in microbial genomics, notably to better understand and predict drug resistances, and in evolutionary genomics. Part of my work also aim at better understanding neural networks for biological sequences. See the Projects section for some examples.
I received an MSc in machine learning from ENS Cachan (now ENS Paris-Saclay) in 2006, and a Ph.D. from Mines ParisTech in 2009, where I worked on regularized machine learning for computational biology. Between 2010 and 2012 I was a postdoctoral fellow at the statistics department of UC Berkeley. I joined the CNRS in 2013 and worked at the LBBE lab in Université Lyon 1 until 2023.
