Hi! I am a postdoctoral associate at Yale University, working at the intersection of interpretable multi-modal deep learning, time series analysis, large language models, and representation learning, with applications in neuroscience, biology, and computer vision.
Prior to Yale, I received my Ph.D. from Université Laval and Mila (Montreal-based AI Institute), advised by Jean-François Lalonde and Christian Gagné, where my research focused on representation learning and meta-learning in limited data situations. My last Ph.D. project was a collaboration with Hugo Larochelle.
Prior to my Ph.D. in Canada, I was with the Image Lab and obtained my M.S. from METU, where I worked on brain decoding.
