Welcome to my homepage! Here, you will find some information about my studies at École Centrale Paris, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), including some of the stuff that I wrote (Master's Thesis, other publications, technical reports...), mainly, but not exclusively, in the domain of Artificial Intelligence (in particular, Model-based Programming, and Distributed Constraint Optimization) and robotic space exploration.
