PhD engineer in AI, optimisation and complex systems
CentraleSupélec
Safran Electronics & Defense
I am a PhD engineer working at the intersection of AI, optimisation and complex industrial systems. During a four-year industrial PhD at CentraleSupélec and Safran Electronics & Defense, I developed methods combining neural Lyapunov functions with global optimisation to identify stability regions in nonlinear system models. I then turned this research into a tool Safran engineers could use without writing code. The work led to three peer-reviewed international conference papers as first author.
More recently, I co-founded Hoocq (opens in a new tab) and helped grow it to €300k+ in revenue across 50+ clients, combining business development, client strategy and end-to-end project delivery through a network of around 100 freelancers.
I am now looking for technically demanding AI problems where scientific rigour and real-world execution matter equally.
A Python and PyTorch reimplementation of the methods from my doctorate for automatically searching Lyapunov functions and estimating stability regions in nonlinear dynamical systems. Neural Lyapunov functions and quadratic forms are optimised with genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimisation, for both continuous- and discrete-time systems. Reproducible experiments, tests and CI.
since 2023
Co-founder. Led business development, client strategy, budgeting and end-to-end project delivery, coordinating projects through a network of around 100 freelancers. Integrated generative AI and workflow automation into prospecting, content production and selected client projects.
2020–2024
Industrial PhD researcher (CIFRE). Developed optimisation-based methods to construct neural Lyapunov functions and identify stability regions in nonlinear dynamical systems. Combined genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimisation and genetic programming, validating the methods on Safran industrial models with up to nine state variables.
2021–2023
Teaching assistant in control theory. Taught control theory and MATLAB practical sessions to second-year engineering students.
2018
Research engineer. Developed Python behaviours for Thymio II robots in a swarm robotics experiment, combining random exploration with visual trail-following to mimic pheromone-based coordination.
