I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Chaire C2M at Télécom Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris, working with Shanshan Wang and Joe Wiart on spatial and temporal prediction of RF-EMF exposure to telecommunications networks using surrogate modeling. Prior to that, I was a postdoctoral fellow at LATMOS, Sorbonne Université, from 2023 to 2025, working with Alice Le Gall on the scientific return of the EFIELD electric-field sensor on board NASA’s Dragonfly mission to Titan. I received my Ph.D. in electrical engineering in 2023 from GeePs, Université Paris-Saclay, in a joint program with Politecnico di Torino, supervised by Lionel Pichon and Fabio Freschi, on metamodel-based methods for the fast prediction of human exposure to electromagnetic fields around high-power systems.
