Awarded the GDR RSD/ASF Best Ph.D. Thesis Award in 2024; successfully defended his thesis titled “Online Learning for the Black-Box Optimization of Wireless Networks” in 2023; published several papers including 'This Too Shall Pass: Removing Stale Observations in Dynamic Bayesian Optimization' at NeurIPS 2024 and 'Relaxing the Additivity Constraints in Decentralized No-Regret High-Dimensional Bayesian Optimization' at ICLR 2024.
Research Experience
Currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at EPFL, within the INDY lab, working in collaboration with Prof. Patrick Thiran. Formerly, a Ph.D. student at ENS Lyon, within the HoWNet team.
Education
Ph.D. from École Normale Supérieure (ENS) Lyon, supervised by Prof. Thomas Begin, researching online high-dimensional black-box optimization techniques with extensive applications to next-generation wireless networks (e.g., Wi-Fi, 5G).
Background
Research interests include black-box optimization (especially Bayesian optimization), online learning, performance evaluation, and wireless networks. Current research focuses on Bayesian optimization, from its theoretical guarantees to its application in various contexts (e.g., dynamic, high-dimensional, distributed) and domains (e.g., wireless networks, community detection).
