Biography
PhD student at EPFL, under the supervision of Kathryn Hess.
My work is on Topological Image Processing, at the crossroad between applied topology, machine learning and image processing.
Msc in Mathematics at the University of Geneva, 2016-2018
BSc in Mathematics at the University of Geneva, 2013-2016
(Exchange at the University of California, San Diego)
