I am an associate professor at ÉTS and an adjunct professor at McGill. Before joining ÉTS, I was a postdoctoral fellow working with Professor Doina Precup at McGill/Mila.
Before my postdoc, I was a researcher at Microsoft Research Montréal.
I received my Ph.D. from Polytechnique Montréal/Mila in 2016 under the supervision of Professor Chris Pal.
During my Ph.D. studies, I worked on computer vision and deep learning applied to emotion recognition, object tracking and knowledge distillation.
My current research focuses on:
- reinforcement learning
- multi-modal learning
- clinical decision support systems
- climate modelling and disaster response
