I am a Staff Research Scientist working at DeepMind . As a member Dr. Raia Hadsell ‘s and Dr. Shakir Mohamed ‘s teams, I have been focusing on navigation-related research , in scaling up autonomous agents to real world environments and in weather and climate forecasting . Some of my work has been published in Nature , at ICLR and NeurIPS and covered by The Guardian , BBC , Financial Times and many other press outlets .
I studied computer science in France (ENSEEIHT, Toulouse) and obtained my PhD in computer science in 2011 at New York University , with a thesis on “Time Series Modeling with Hidden Variables and Gradient-based Algorithms” supervised by Prof. Yann LeCun (Outstanding Dissertation Award, 2011).
Prior to joining DeepMind , I worked at Schlumberger Research , at the NYU Comprehensive Epilepsy Center , at Bell Labs (with Dr. Tin Kam Ho) and at Microsoft Bing , on problems including epileptic seizure prediction from EEG , the inference of gene regulation networks , WiFi-based geolocalisation , Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping on a smartphone , robotics , natural language processing and search query auto-completion.
