Biography

Since April 2025, I am a FCAI Research Fellow at Aalto University, a 5-year funded position by the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence. I work with groups

• Computational Systems Biology (Prof. Harri Lähdesmäki)
• Probabilistic Machine Learning (Prof. Samuel Kaski)

I am also a member of the ELLIS AI network. My interests span:

• Biology-Informed Machine Learning: blending data-driven and mechanistic models within Systems Biology
• Bayesian Inference, Gaussian Processes and Bayesian Optimization.
• Applications in health-related matters.

In 2024-2025, I did a postdoc at Inria Bordeaux, in the SISTM team, working with Quentin Clairon, Mélanie Prague and Rodolphe Thiébaut. I studied Gaussian Process ODEs and their application for modeling humoral response following vaccine treatment. In 2022-2024, I was a postdoc at Aalto University, in the Probabilistic Machine Learning group, working with Samuel Kaski, Vikas Garg and Markus Heinonen. I was working on Bayesian Inference, Bayesian Optimization, and the integration of human feedback into ML algorithms, with an emphasis on Drug Design.

Prior to that, I obtained my PhD in February 2022 from Ecole polytechnique, Inria and Institut Curie, under the supervision of François Fages and Annabelle Ballesta. We developed methods at the boundary of Systems Biology and Machine Learning to infer mechanistic models from time series data. A major contribution of the manuscript was to apply such methods to investigate the impact of systemic regulators (e.g. temperature, nutrient exposure, hormones) on the cellular circadian clock, in an attempt to personalize Cancer Chronotherapies. The manuscript can be found here and the slides here.

Miscellanous

For a few years now, I have been cultivating a passion for indoor bouldering, with a mild success thus far 🫠
