Experience

C++ developer for operational research

• Developement, documentation and maintenance of optimization algorithms in the field of public transportation.

PhD thesis work

• Design of a flexible and interpretable evolutionary algorithm for the optimization of various molecular properties. Implementation of the algorithm in a software library (EvoMol) that is meant to be maintained and to be accessible to users that are not necessarily computer scientists.
• Proposal of a surrogate-based optimization method to optimize with low cost molecular properties that depend on a costly evaluation. The surrogate function is a machine learning model that estimates the values of the costly property of interest.
• Explainable artificial intelligence : generation of counterfactual explanations for machine learning classifiers of molecular properties.

Teaching

• 192h of teaching over three years, mainly to an audience of BSc and MSc students.
• Entry-level programming and advanced programming (design patterns).
• Supervision of several internal graduation internships for BSc students.
• Also includes a machine learning practical formation for an audience of high school teachers.

Representative of doctoral students at the council of the LERIA laboratory

• Elected position that consists in taking part to the discussions and votes, and reporting the content of the meetings to the rest of the doctoral students of the laboratory.
