Welcome

I'm a freshly PhD graduate from PSL university. I prepared my PhD thesis at Mines Paris (OIE Center) under the supervision of Philippe Blanc, Yves-Marie Saint-Drenan and Laurent Dubus. This PhD was funded by RTE France, the French tranmission system operator (TSO) and benefited from the support of the ANRT (CIFRE funding). Click here for an overview of the work done in the PhD.

My research interests are deep learning and explainable AI, computer vision and remote sensing, and solar energy, through the lenses of PV power estimation.

Bienvenue

J'ai récemment obtenu mon doctorat de l'université PSL. J'ai préparé ma thèse au (Centre OIE) de l'Ecole des mines de Paris sous la direction de Philippe Blanc, Yves-Marie Saint-Drenan et Laurent Dubus. Cette thèse a été financée par RTE France, le gestionnaire du réseau de transport (GRT) d'électricité français, et a bénéficié du soutien de l'ANRT (financement CIFRE). Cliquez ici pour une présentation du travail réalisé dans le cadre de la thèse.

Mes thèmes de recherches sont l'IA explicable, le deep learning, la computer vision et la télédétection, ainsi que l'énergie PV sous le prisme de l'estimation de production.
