Hi, I’m Florent, welcome to my personal website!
I am currently a post-doctoral scientist at EPFL in the Intelligent Maintenance and Operations Systems (IMOS) team. Previously, I was at LMIS2 working as a data scientist & software engineer with the Nagi Bioscience start-up. I obtained my PhD in Computer Science in 2021 at LIPN, the CS lab of Université Sorbonne Paris Nord (Paris 13) . My broad areas of interest are unsupervised machine learning and large-scale data-driven applications. I like to develop and apply advanced algorithms on large, complex, industrial data sets. My PhD project was an industry collaboration with Safran Aircraft Engines, a leading aircraft engine manufacturer. Before, I graduated from ISAE-Supaero engineering school in Toulouse .
