Research

Topics

My main research is devoted to the themes of the Lusis - CentraleSupélec artificial intelligence chair. The chair is developping three axes of research:

credit card payments fraud detection, which extends to anomaly detection,
algorithmic trading,
causality in the context of the link between patient data and pathologies.

Previously, my main research aimed at using artificial intelligence techniques to optimize human learning.
