short bio

I am currently an AI Research Scientist at EDF Lab Saclay since 2021 and was appointed an EDF Lab Expert AI Research Scientist in 2024. Prior to that I obtained a PhD in Statistical Signal Processing from Telecom Paris (2018) and worked then for three years at EDF Lab Beijing, China, still as an AI Research Scientist. My research focus is on Deep Learning for Time Series data, with an emphasis on industrial applications in the power system.

research interests

  • Deep Learning for Time Series
  • Time Series Foundation Models, large scale pretraining and adaptation mechanisms
  • Conditional generation of long time series, application to individual electric consumption data
  • Federated Learning from heterogeneous time series
  • Applied AI, deep generative models (text or graph-based) for optimal industrial process design
