About

I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the AISLab at HES-SO Valais-Wallis.


Before joining HES-SO Valais-Wallis, I completed my PhD at the Idiap Research Institute and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where I focused on deep learning architectures for natural language processing, particularly at the intersection of text and graph representation learning. I also gained experience as an Applied Scientist Intern at Amazon AGI, where I contributed to retrieval-augmented generation systems and contextual reward modelling.


I bring applied research experience and hands-on exposure to real-world challenges, having worked closely with researchers, engineers, and practitioners across multiple projects and institutions. I value open, respectful, and collaborative work environments, and believe that progress in science and technology is best achieved through kindness, curiosity, and shared effort.
