Welcome!

1) Overview

I am a Canadian AI graduate student finishing my second M.Sc. in Computer Science at the Mila – Quebec AI Institute. My master’s research focused on representation learning for deep reinforcement learning, advised by Pablo Samuel Castro, with whom I co-authored a survey published in TMLR. In parallel, I have collaborated with Aaron Courville, Hugo Larochelle, Juan Duque, and other Mila researchers on multi-agent reinforcement learning in social-dilemma settings, with our recent work analyzing how opponent-shaping methods can promote cooperation and stability under climate and economic constraints. In the context of my first master’s, I also worked on deep learning for brain–computer interface (BCI) research at the CERVO Brain Research Center, where I developed end-to-end neural decoding pipelines from raw intracortical signals. On the industry side, I recently worked on deep learning and reinforcement learning projects in R&D at Bombardier Aerospace and Bentley Systems.

2) Research Interests

- Sensing, Reasoning, and Control:
• Representation learning from multimodal and high-dimensional data
• Deep Reinforcement Learning for complex policy learning and control
• Predictive world modeling, multi-step reasoning, and hierarchical planning

- Theoretical Challenges:
• Fundamental aspects of learning and intelligence
• Achieving better sample efficiency and generalization
• Optimizing target performance under resource constraints

- Applied Problems:
• AI-enhanced scientific simulations (e.g., CFD/FEA with surrogate models)
• Robotics learning in complex simulators, sim2real and real2sim challenges
• End-to-end learning for combinatorial problems (e.g., ressource allocation)
• AI-based decoding and adaptation methods for future Brain–Computer Interfaces
• Autonomous aircraft & spacecraft control using hybrid RL/MPC-based approaches
• Multi-Agent RL for Policymaking Research and Applications (e.g., space debris issue)

3) Personal Interests

I enjoy visiting technology, science, and space museums while traveling, having driven over 1.5 times the Earth’s circumference across my last three U.S. road trips for that purpose. I have a broad interest in reading across many subjects and enjoy practicing various physical sports.
