I am an Associate Professor at Paris Cité University, affiliated with the BioSTM Laboratory and the Faculty of Pharmacy. My work explores how machine learning systems can better adapt to changing environments and tasks, drawing inspiration from the remarkable flexibility of the brain. This line of research is rooted primarily in domain adaptation and transfer learning, with a particular emphasis on Optimal Transport theory as a geometric framework for modeling, computation, and theoretical guarantees.
More recently, I have developed a strong interest in applications to genetics and, more broadly, the life sciences, where these methods can help uncover the structure and complexity of biological processes through data-driven models.
Prior to this position, I served as an Assistant Professor at Sorbonne Paris Nord University, where I also received my PhD and Master’s degree in Machine Learning. My earlier training was in Applied Mathematics, with both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the Faculty of Sciences in Fez, Kingdom of Morocco.
