About

I am a Research Fellow at Mathematics Department of National University of Singapore (NUS), working with Soh Yong Sheng. Before that, I did a short postdoc at Telecom Paristech, working with Florence d’Alché, Gabriel Peyré and Remi Flamary on the applications of optimal transport to machine learning. My current research interest is on optimal transport and diffusion models, with a focus on methodological/theoretical side.

I obtained my PhD in Proba-Stat team of Département de Mathématiques d’Orsay and INRIA Parietal team, working with problems in high-dimension statistics. I was very fortunate to be advised by Sylvain Arlot and Bertrand Thirion. I spent a fair amount of time during my PhD for the developments of open-source softwares. Checkout Nilearn, hidimstat, and Benchopt for the open-source projects that I have been developing/contributing to.
