Member of Techical Staff, Research at Runway
I am a member of Technical Staff, Research at Runway working on real-time world models. Previously, I was a research scientist at Jasper AI and Stability AI working on diffusion, flow and bridge models for image generation as well as distillation methods to make them run faster. I also lead the development and release of open-source projects. I have a Ph.D in applied mathematics and machine learning focusing on generative models at INRIA. In particular, I worked on Variational Autoencoders (VAE) and was mostly interested in the modelling of their latent space. I also maintain Python libraries trying to democratize those models.
