Profile πŸ‘‹

I’m a machine learning researcher working on reinforcement learning and language models.
I graduated with an MEng from ENPC and an MSc from the MVA M2 research program at ENS Paris-Saclay.

My research contributions include:

  • distillation, pre-training at scale, Transformer architecture: Falcon, Apertus (ACL), FOG (NeurIPS)
  • Reasoning, post-training: Terminator (ICML workshop, NeurIPS), Leanstral, Mistral Large 4.
  • Algorithmic research on RL for long-horizon LLM agents at Mistral.

I joined Mistral AI’s science team in 2026 to work on long-horizon reinforcement learning, reporting to Albert Jiang.

Between early 2025 and early 2026, I was a visiting student at MLO lab at EPFL, supervised by Prof. Martin Jaggi. I was also a core member of the Swiss AI Initiative training team, an open-source initiative between EPFL, ETH Zurich, and CSCS.

Previously, I did an internship at the theory/frontier team of TII (UAE) and was a member of the Falcon LLM team.
