Hey, thanks for stopping by! 👋

I’m a Research Fellow at Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute, where I’m leading a thematic lab on language models for drug discovery.

As a scientist, I’m broadly interested in machine learning. I’m currently focusing on understanding how to adapt all aspects of the LLM pipeline, from data processing and pre-training to alignment and evaluation, to the unique characteristics of biological data such as genomes, proteins, and small molecules.

Previously, I completed my PhD in ML from Polytechnique Montréal, where I was advised by Daniel Aloise and Michel R. Dagenais on language models for detecting anomalies in the Linux kernel. Later, I completed a postdoc with Sarath Chandar at the University of Montreal.
