Hello! I am Antoine, an Applied Scientist at Amazon. I recently graduated with a master's degree in mathematics and artificial intelligence from ENS Paris-Saclay. I also completed a research internship at Meta Meta Logo in the Brain & AI team, supervised by Hubert J. Banville and Jean-Rémi King. Prior to that, I spent a year as a visiting researcher at New York University, specifically at NYU Video Lab under the supervision of Yao Wang and Adeen Flinker, where I remain a visiting researcher. Before joining ENS Paris-Saclay, I completed the first year of my master's degree at Paris-Saclay University in mathematics and artificial intelligence. I also received a bachelor's degree from Gustave Eiffel University in mathematics and computer science.

My research interests are signal processing, computer vision and their applications to the medical field, when possible. I am also interested in pre-training and multimodal models.

Research

Critical regions prediction Critical regions prediction March 2023 - Present

At New York University, we are developing a model capable of detecting critical regions of the brain using electrocorticography (ECoG). We define critical regions as the areas of the brain that are activated and necessary when performing tasks such as speech. The gold standard for identifying these regions, electrical stimulation mapping (ESM) has remained unchanged for many years. However, this technique of brain stimulation carries the risk of discharges and seizures in both diseased and healthy tissue. In addition, this is often not well tolerated by pediatrics. For these reasons, and others not mentioned here, there is a crucial need to improve this method. This could benefit pre-surgical planning by helping ensure critical regions are not inadvertently resected. This work is jointly supervised by Yao Wang and Adeen Flinker.

Miscellaneous

Outside of artificial intelligence, I play the piano 🎹 and I often do sport.
