Awarded joint ANR-NSERC 2025 funding to further work on the creativity of generative modeling; paper on generalization of flow matching deep generative models accepted at NeurIPS 2025 as an oral (top 0.3%); released a friendly blog post on normalizing flows and conditional flow matching techniques; recent works on self-consuming generative models and their biases gained media coverage from the N.Y. Times, Globe and Mail, etc.; launched a Python package for large scale optimization of sparse problems (4k downloads/month).
Research Experience
Was a post-doctoral researcher at Mila from November 2021 to June 2024, working with Gauthier Gidel and Simon Lacoste-Julien; since July 2024, has been a tenured researcher (‘chargé de recherche’) at Inria Lyon, part of the Malice team located in Laboratoire Hubert Curien; became a Mila-affiliated member starting September 2025.
Education
Completed his Ph.D. at Inria Paris-Saclay (Parietal Team) under the supervision of Joseph Salmon and Alexandre Gramfort, focusing on the optimization and statistical aspects of high dimensional brain signal reconstruction.
Background
Research interests include generative models and multi-agent learning. More broadly, he studies how learning algorithms can leverage and interact with synthetic data from deep generative models.
