Background
  • PhD student at the DMS (Département de Mathématiques et de Statistique) at the University of Montreal, a core member at MILA (Montreal Institute of Learning Algorithms), and a PhD fellow of IVADO (Institut de valorisation des données). Co-supervised by Guillaume Lajoie and Guy Wolf. Research interests include understanding the information encoded in the hidden layers of trained deep neural networks, using tools from manifold learning, graph signal processing, representation learning, and dynamical systems. Also interested in research at the intersection of AI and Neuroscience.
