My research develops the theory and methods of backward stochastic processes for generative machine learning, and applies them to medical imaging, computational imaging, and inverse problems across engineering and the natural sciences.
Before joining UTC, I completed my postdoctoral training as a Research Fellow at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School (2022–2024). I received my PhD with highest honors from Université Côte d'Azur / Inria, where my dissertation focused on deep generative learning for medical data processing, analysis, and modeling.
I lead Laplace Lab, an open research group for principled AI. Follow our work on GitHub.
I welcome conversations with students, clinicians, researchers, and industry partners working at the intersection of generative AI, imaging, and decision systems.
