About

I am a PhD Candidate in Artificial Intelligence at Institut Polytechnique de Paris (Télécom Paris), under the supervision of Thomas Bonald (LTCI – Information Processing and Communications Laboratory, Télécom Paris) and Tiphaine Viard, (i3 – Interdisciplinary Institute of Innovation, Télécom Paris).
In my research, I study enriched graph methods and algorithms to leverage information from real-world data, in order to add transparency in current machine learning approaches.

My research interests include:

  • Real-world graphs
  • Graph algorithms
  • Graph Neural Networks
  • Network analysis in the social sciences
  • Fairness and ethics in AI
