Research and academic responsibilities

Organiser of the Semestrial Borelli’s Seminar.

Co-superviser (with J. Randon-Furling and Q. Bernet) of the first-year research dissertation of L. Casanova, T. Lollier and M. Tavernier: the subject was to explore network science together with optimal transport to study the database Mandragore.

In 2023–2024, I organized (then co-organized) a workshop on the connections between machine learning and optimal transport at the SAMM laboratory in Panthéon-Sorbonne University. During the workshop, I had the opportunity to say a few words about the Wasserstein barycenter.
