I am an Associate Professor at ENAC, the French National School of Civil Aviation, and a member of the Interactive Informatics Team at the ENAC Research Lab. Before joining ENAC, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Perpignan working with Matthieu Martel, where I focused on fixed-point code synthesis for neural networks. I defended my PhD thesis, Fast and Efficient Bit-level Precision Tuning, at the University of Perpignan in 2021.

My research interests lie at the intersection of formal methods and embedded systems. I explore FPGA code synthesis and the efficient implementation of floating-point and fixed-point arithmetic on hardware, alongside embedded AI and neural network optimization through precision tuning, quantization, pruning, and compression.

I am looking for motivated interns, PhD students, postdocs & collaborators. Contact me to get involved!
