The University of Paris-Saclay is a community of universities and multidisciplinary institutions
in the south of Paris, in the Essonne and the Yvelines, created on December 29, 2014.
It consists of three universities, nine French National Schools of Engineering and seven
research organizations

2016–2017 PhD pre-doctoral year, Paris Sciences Lettres : multidisciplinary, innovation and
entrepreneurship, Paris.
PSL-ITI was conceived by four Paris Sciences Lettres institutes that excel in scientific and
engineering research, and which have produced numerous PhD graduates responsible for
creating innovative startups :
— three elite engineering schools : Chimie ParisTech, ESPCI, MINES ParisTech
— the Ecole Normale Supérieure
PSL-ITI also relies on the University Paris-Dauphine, Institut Curie, Observatoire de Paris,
Collège de France, and École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. It enjoys an active
partnership with the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées.

w"
— "Study of the Mpemba effect (water supercooling phenomenon) by coupling the
model and experimental measurements"

2009 Science Baccalauréat, Collège/Lycée Assomption, Briey, with merit.
Majored in Mathematics, Physics/Chemistry and Biology – music option
Project (TPE) : "Bionic arms / human arms"
Production of a human-size model of a bionic arm implanted on the bust of a mannequin
activated by pneumatic cylinders controlled by solenoid valves ; the aim is to understand the
biological function of an arm and identify differences with robotic arms

Description Use image processing methods (geometric and deep learning : CNN) to construct
a robust method to detect the toothbrush and deduce the position in the mouth.
Prototype in Python with Keras and Scikit-Learn and robust implementation in
C++ with Caffe, TinyDnn and OpenCV

Master thesis in Mathematics
Title Detection of outliers by unsupervised methods
Supervisors Nicolas Damay, Pierre Vallois
Description Use methods by density and clustering (PCA and K-means or DBSCAN or LOF) or
neural networks (LSTM, deep learning with deep denoising auto-encoder, q-learning)
