I am an engineering student at CentraleSupélec in France where I pursue an engineering diploma and study applied mathematics and computer science. CentraleSupélec is a leading engineering school in France and founding member of the Paris-Saclay University.

Before joining CentraleSupélec, I studied at Lycée Henri Poincaré where I completed a two-year preparatory program in mathematics, physics and computer science (MPSI/MP*). Preparatory classes are a rigorous and intensive program in France that prepares students for the entrance exams to the top science and engineering schools.

I am currently an intern at Thales cortAIx lab, where I focus on deep reinforcement learning applied to cybersecurity.
