Biography

I am a Research Assistant at the Group for Neural Theory at Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris.

Before, I worked at the Zimmer Lab, where I studied the neural dynamics of C. elegans as part of my thesis. My research focused on developing data-driven computational models to disambiguate intrinsic (autonomous) dynamics and actuated (non-autonomous or control) dynamics.

I am currently using Schur Decomposition methods to identify interpretable representations of RNN weights. I am interested in working memory mechanisms and non-normal dynamics.

When I’m not studying the brain I’m busy being in an open relationship with climbing and art.
