About me

I am currently a KAUST Global Fellow in the StochNum group at KAUST led by Raúl Tempone, and my current projects focus on data assimilation, model order reduction, and statistical model calibration. Before this, I obtained my PhD at EPFL in 2025 in the CSQI group, under the supervision of Fabio Nobile. My thesis is entitled: “Advances in Dynamical Low-Rank Approximations for random PDEs and Data Assimilation”, you can download it here. Before that, I did my Master’s at the University of Edinburgh, in Computational Applied Mathematics.

My CV is available here.

Research Interests

My preferred type of research combines sound theoretical guarantees with practical implementations. I follow this philosophy when researching (and combining):

Model Order Reduction, with a strong focus on Dynamical Low-Rank Approximations for time-dependent random or stochastic systems
Data Assimilation, and especially filtering problems revolving around Kalman filtering and particle filters
Statistical Model Calibration, in particular investigating S(P)DE-based formulations

Academic activities

NUMRAD24 co-organiser Along with Fabio Zoccolan, Matteo Raviola and Tommaso Vanzan, we organised the first ever edition of the NUMRAD Summer School. See the newest editions here.
SciCADE 2024 minisymposium co-organiser Alongside Benjamin Carrel, we organised a minisymposium at SciCADE 2024 in Singapore.

Languages

I speak French, German, English at a proficient/native level, and Portuguese at a conversational level. I received an HSK 5 qualification in Chinese in 2017, but have not practised that language since.

Coding

I am a (Neo)vim enthusiast and love to work out of the terminal. These days I am mostly using Julia and Python when coding, but I have varying degrees of experience in MATLAB, C, C++ (incl. MPI), Java, JavaScript/TypeScript.
