Welcome

I'm a postdoctoral researcher at Mines Paris - PSL. 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 transmission 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 focuses on the reliability and transparency of deep learning algorithms deployed in industrial settings. My research interests are explainable AI, computer vision and remote sensing. My main case study is the remote sensing of rooftop photovoltaic installations, so I also made contributions in power systems.

Bienvenue

Je suis chercheur postdoctoral à Mines Paris - PSL. J'ai préparé ma thèse de doctorat à Mines Paris (Centre O.I.E.) 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 d'électricité en France (TSO), et a bénéficié du soutien de l'ANRT (financement CIFRE). Cliquez ici pour un aperçu des travaux réalisés dans le cadre de cette thèse.

Mes recherches portent sur la fiabilité et la transparence des algorithmes de deep learning déployés dans l'industrie. Mes thèmes de recherche sont l'IA explicable, la vision par ordinateur et la télédétection. Mon principal cas d'étude est la télédétection des installations photovoltaïques sur toiture, ce qui m'a également conduit à contribuer au domaine des systèmes énergétiques.
