About Me

Welcome to my personal website! I am a PhD candidate in Applied Mathematics with a specialization in Machine Learning at the Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France (UPHF), in collaboration with the École des Mines de Saint-Étienne (EMSE).

My research focuses on Gaussian processes (GPs) and their extensions to multi-task learning and structured modeling. I develop probabilistic models and advanced kernel methods to analyze complex mechanical systems, integrating physical constraints and uncertainty quantification.

This work bridges theoretical advancements and practical applications, contributing to cutting-edge solutions in simulation, optimization, and uncertainty quantification for mechanical and computational models. Through Gaussian process models, I aim to improve the efficiency, interpretability, and predictive capabilities of machine learning methods in engineering and physics-driven problems.
