Biography

I conduct research at the IMT Atlantique in Brest on hardware and software implementations of signal processing and AI algorithms. I teach computer engineering and digital electronics.

My PhD thesis focused on the implementation of polar codes decoders. I proposed the fastest software implementation of the Adaptive SC List decoding algorithm to date. This implementation is integrated in the AFF3CT toolbox to which I actively contribute. I’m also part of the organisation committee of the next ISTC 2023 conference.

I currently focus on efficient hardware and software implementations of Neural Networks, aiming at low latency and energy efficiency, through multiple industrial collaborations, and as the coordinator of a JCJC ANR project, ProPruNN.
