Student & Researcher, AI Enthusiast

I am a student passionate about the intersection of myrmecology (the study of ants), neuro-ethology (the study of neural mechanisms responsible of animals behavior) and Artificial Intelligence. I am currently researching about the evolution of soft robot at the University of Tsukuba, Japan with Prof. Claus Aranha.

Research Interests

I am interested in :

Collective Intelligence : How simple individuals solve complex problems together.
Bio-Inspired AI : Applying biological knowledge to AI.
Simulations : Developing efficient models on my computer to visualize agent-based behaviors.

Experience

2026 - Present : University of Tsukuba (Tsukuba, Japan)

Exchange Research Student : Working on the EvoGym library and the evolution of single genomne soft robot.

Education

2024 - Present : ISAE-SUPAERO (Toulouse, France)

Master’s in Engineering : General engineering formation. I will be studying for my last year Data & Decision Sciences.
Developped a strong foundation in Python programming, Automatic Control, Java and C. Currently learning C++ on my own.

2022 - 2024 : Lycée Saint-Louis (Paris, France)

CPGE MPSI/PSI* : Intensive French Mathematics and Physics Preparatory Classes.

Projects & Research

Myrmeco-Lab

This website serves as my digital laboratory. I will documents my progress in building ant simulations that mimics ants natural behaviors.
