About Me
I am an AI/ML Engineer with a research background, currently working on applied deep learning
for climate data downscaling at IPSL (Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace).
My work focuses on developing robust machine learning models for large-scale scientific datasets,
with an emphasis on transfer learning, model evaluation, and physical consistency in high-resolution outputs.
With experience in medical imaging, speech signal processing, and climate modeling,
I am particularly interested in building reliable and scalable AI systems that bridge
research innovation and real-world impact.

Photography
Photography is a personal interest through which I explore natural patterns,
structure, and light. It complements my scientific perspective and curiosity
about complex systems.
