About

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Software and Information Technology Engineering at ÉTS Montréal, where I co-lead the Trustworthy Information Systems Lab (TISL) research group. Previously, I was a Tenured Research Scientist at Inria Grenoble.

Research Interests

My research addresses the technical challenges of Responsible AI through the lenses of fairness, privacy-preserving techniques, and explainability. My goal is to design systems that are both mathematically private and socially equitable.
