Profile picture

Welcome to my website! I am a PhD candidate at the Université de Montréal and Mila. My research focuses primarily on the problem of representations and, more precisely, on how to learn a structured and simple representation of natural data. I am also interested in the downstream applications of structured representation and identifying such structures.

You are welcome to contact me via my email.
