About Me
I am currently a research engineer with Ascent Robotics in Tokyo, and focused on using AI to make the robots of tomorrow smarter.
I was a PhD Student at the Université de Montpellier 2, doing my research at the French-Japanese Joint Robotics Lab (JRL) in Tsukuba. My research was focused on multi-contact optimal control, but my research interests encompass various areas of computer science and mathematics, such as numerical optimization, computational geometry, approximation theory and machine learning.
My defence took place on November 14th 2017, the dissertation is titled “On multi-contact dynamic motion using reduced models” and the PDF is available from the publications page.
Outside of the lab, I really like to go rock climbing or biking, but on rainy days I thoroughly enjoy my Nintendo Switch (Currently playing Octopath Traveler).
