I'm a PhD Candidate in Computer and Software Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal and a Mitacs Accelerate intern at Michelin.
My research, supervised by Prof. Bentley Oakes, focuses on Digital Twin Engineering. I investigate how to accelerate the engineering of trustworthy and explainable Digital Twins using ontologies and (local) foundation models.
My broader research interests include world models, robotics and simulation, 3D visualization, human-computer interaction, and XR/virtual reality.
Beyond my research, you can also explore my other projects.
