Machine Learning Researcher

TotalEnergies

Jan 2025 - Present

1 year 10 months

Greater Paris Metropolitan Region · Hybrid

- Collaborate with business stakeholders to define requirements, identify key challenges in areas such as EV charging and Microgrid optimization, and translate them into Reinforcement Learning (RL) use cases with practical, real-world impact. - Develop RL-based intraday trading strategies on European energy markets, optimizing EV-charging by exploiting price fluctuations under imperfect forecasts and complementing day-ahead positions. - Improve existing RL controllers for microgrid operations by extending algorithms to coordinate EV charging dispatch and battery storage management, aiming to reduce operating costs and CO2 emissions.

Doctoral Researcher

Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML)

Feb 2020 - Dec 2024

4 years 11 months

Adelaide SA, Australia

- Conducted research at the intersection of Reinforcement Learning, Imitation Learning, and Causality. - Developed causality-inspired methods to improve sample efficiency and generalization in imitation learning. - Collaborated with industry and academic partners on applied machine learning projects, and actively promoted research through presentations, public talks, and interdisciplinary events.

Machine Learning Researcher

NAVAL GROUP

Aug 2022 - Dec 2022

5 months

Adelaide SA, Australia

- Developed an explainable vessel recognition system to enhance interpretability in maritime security systems. - Implemented a Vision Transformer model with pairwise heatmap visualization using Attention Flow Approximation. This approach provided intuitive interpretation of results, matching the performance of standard CNN models while offering superior explanations compared to classic techniques like GradCam.
