Researcher Engineer @ Google DeepMind

Teaching computers to learn :)

I am a Computer Scientist passionate about Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning research. After graduating from École CentraleSupélec at Paris-Saclay University, France, and from the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA), Brazil, I will join Google DeepMind as a Research Engineer, focusing on sustainability and environmental ML solutions. My research interests span computer vision, representation learning, generative models, multimodal learning, and responsible AI. I am particularly interested in how machine learning can address real-world challenges and create meaningful impact :)

Outside of work, I love traveling to explore new countries and cultures (and languages). I'm also deeply committed to education, and I have volunteered in various countries to support those without access to learning opportunities.

I'm excited to share that I'll be moving to London, United Kingdom to take on the role of Research Engineer at Google DeepMind! My focus will be on sustainability and the environment, contributing to innovative machine learning solutions that help make the world a better place.

I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be starting a Data Science Internship at Amazon! I'll be working on Data Analysis and Prediction in Paris, France, focusing on areas like machine learning, data analysis, and data analytics. Excited for the opportunity to grow and contribute to impactful projects at Amazon!

As a firm believer that AI-driven software development with a diverse and capable team can reshape our realities, I am privileged to lead the Google Developer Student Club at CentraleSupelec. In this role, I have led a team of developers across multiple fronts, including artificial intelligence, backend, frontend,and more. I am passionate about building reliable and scalable software and driven by the idea that our collective efforts can foster technical innovation and positively impact our world.

I am honored to have participated in the prestigious Google Summer of Code program, where I was one of 967 participants selected from 43,765 applicants across 160 countries. As a Researcher Contributor in the Machine Learning for Science Program (ML4SCI), I applied Vision Transformers to detect space distortion caused by Dark Matter in simulated astronomical observations, collaborating with researchers from the USA, India, France, Germany, and England. Paper accepted for ML4PS workshop, NeurIPS 2023.

I've undertaken numerous projects spanning a diverse range of fields, all of which are consolidated into repositories on my GitHub. These projects encompass personal initiatives, academic coursework, internships, and research endeavors. You'll discover a wide variety of subjects within, including Inference, Optimization, Mathematics, Programming, Software Development and Algorithms, among others!

I'm always excited to take on new challenges in artificial intelligence research and software development. If you’ve got an interesting project or idea, let’s connect! I'm open to collaborations or just geeking out about tech :)
