I am a PhD student, supervised by Aurélien Bellet, Batiste Le Bars and Nirupam Gupta, within an INRIA–Inserm team at the University of Montpellier, France. My research focuses on the intersection of Byzantine-Robust and Private Learning. Prior to my doctoral studies, I completed a master’s degree at École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay and worked for some years as an engineer developing decision-support algorithms for intraoperative diagnostics during arrhythmia surgeries. Through this experience, I witnessed first-hand how robust learning can support clinical practice—where highly specialized annotations, produced by a small group of experts, inevitably introduce variability or errors—and how federated collaboration across hospitals could lead to stronger solutions, provided privacy is preserved. These experiences have fueled my enthusiasm for developing stronger theoretical foundations to advance trustworthy and practical applications of machine learning.
