I am a professor at Sorbonne University, affiliated with the Institute of Intelligent Systems and Robotics (ISIR) laboratory, and a distinguished researcher at Criteo AI Lab in Paris. A pioneer in the field of neural networks, my research focuses on statistical learning and deep learning, with applications spanning semantic data processing and complex data analysis. Currently, my work centers on scientific AI also known as AI4Science with a focus on physics-aware machine learning where I have made seminal contributions, and on NLP topics. I also hold a national AI chair titled ‘Deep Learning for Physical Processes with Applications to Earth System Science 2020 – 2026 an I am currently co-PI of a chair « Deep Learning for Science: Modeling Fluid Dynamics in Engineering and Climate Physics” (2025–2030).
