Internships: I am always happy to host and mentor PhD and motivated MSc students at Adobe, San Francisco (typically over the summer). If you would like to work with me, please send me an email describing your past experience and current research interests. Make sure to include your CV, 1 or 2 references and a paragraph about specific topics you would like to explore during your internship.

In the past, I have had the pleasure to collaborate with the following students: Julien Philip, Dmitriy Smirnov, Utkarsh Singhal, Tamar Rott Shaham, Zhihao Xia, Spandan Madan, Ishit Mehta, Mustafa Işık, Pradyumna Reddy, James Hong, Karima Ma, Thibaut Ehret, Holly Jackson, Lucy Chai, Sai Praveen Bangaru, Difan Liu, Yash Belhe, Yotam Nitzan, Lucas Valença, Caroline Chan, Goutam Bhat, Prafull Sharma, Yinbo Chen, Ke Wang, Jiteng Mu, Tianwei Yin, Hadi AlZayer.

Bio: I am currently a Research Scientist at Adobe. I was previously a PhD student at MIT CSAIL, where I had the chance to work under the supervision of Prof. Frédo Durand. My research interests include computational photography, computer vision and machine learning. Prior to joining MIT, I completed my undergraduate studies in France, at École Polytechnique, with a focus on Applied Mathematics.

If you are looking for the economist, that would be my sister Sarah.
