Microsoft Research - Inria Joint Centre (PhD Student)
Presentation

I’m currently a PhD Student in the Parietal Team at Inria, which is located in the Neurospin brain imaging center. I’m being co-supervised by Bertrand THIRION and Gaël VAROQUAUX .

Research interests
I’m broadly interested in machine learning and statistics. My research focus on problems which arise while applying machine learning techniques to large-scale and high dimensional datasets, for instance fMRI data. Part of my research aims to find faster statistical methods for large-scale fMRI analysis while increasing their stability and prediction capability. On the neuroscience side, I’m using machine learning techniques for inferring cognitive states encoded in brain activation images.
