After obtaining a MSc in electrical and computer science, I moved to do a PhD in developmental robotics in the Flowers Team (https://flowers.inria.fr). I worked on calibration-free interactive systems with practical application to brain-computer interfaces.

I am now interested to apply principles from developmental robotics to the study of physical interacting chemical entities. I am convinced that the encounter between robotics, AI, and chemistry can unveil surprising phenomenon and help studying the properties of self-organization in the real world.

I am also a maker and an active member of the Poppy project (https://www.poppy-project.org), an open-source project providing tools to enable the creative exploration of interactive robots for science, education, and art.
