Students

 

I’ve been fortunate to supervise a few brilliant PhD students and many interns. I try to keep in touch with them with LinkedIn in particular.

I have frequent openings for internships at undergrad level L3, M1 or gap year on the theme of AI and physics. Do not hesitate to contact me (the earlier, the better).

Check out this internship offer for 2024 : “Fair Universe : Validation of « uncertainty-aware » Machine Learning algorithms for Higgs boson measurement at the LHC.”  Important note: due to the Paris 2024 Olympics Games disruptions, please do not apply for July-Aug, and apply for June or Sep only if you already have accommodation booked. 

 

Opening for PhD are less frequent and would be indicated here. 

List of all  French PhD I have been involved in, writing, supervising or jury member in various roles.
