Experience08

1. Apr 2026 — Present · Montpellier, France

   AI Research Engineer — Inria

   Conducting research on LLM-based geoparsing to link unstructured text to geographic locations and footprints.

   More

   Working on the GEO-ReSeT project. Supervisors: Diego Marcos, Roberto Interdonato. Team: EVERGREEN (Earth obserVation and machine lEarning foR aGRo-Environmental challENges).

2. Dec 2025 — Apr 2026 · India

   Independent Researcher

   Agentic AI workflows and LLM applications.

   More

   Following graduation, I pursued independent research focusing on agentic AI workflows and the application of LLMs to both agent-based models and conceptual modeling (example project).

3. Jun 2025 — Nov 2025 · Toulouse, France

   AI Engineer Intern — Airbus Defence and Space

   Fine-tuning of Vision-Language Models on Satellite Images.

   More

   Under the supervision of Fahd Benatia, I conducted research on the underlying AI model of Airbus Geo Explore. I conducted a literature review of state-of-the-art fine-tuning techniques for VLMs in remote sensing, I built a benchmark suite to compare models and training strategies, and implemented end-to-end fine-tuning pipelines on Google Cloud Platform.

4. Aug 2024 · Suffolk, VA, USA

   Research Intern (LLMs & Simulation) — VMASC

   Applied LLMs to simulation and decision-making.

   More

   Advised by Philippe J. Giabbanelli, my research focused on making complex Agent-Based Models interpretable for non-technical decision-makers. I built an end-to-end framework that parses NetLogo simulation metrics, leverages advanced prompt engineering with GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet to analyze data trends, and condenses the text using both extractive and abstractive summarization. The resulting explanations were validated through comprehensive automated scoring and structured human evaluations.

5. May 2024 — Jul 2024 · Oxford, OH, USA

   Research Intern (LLMs) — Miami University

   LLMs for conceptual modeling and multimodal evaluation.

   More

   I investigated how LLMs can be integrated with simulation and conceptual modeling. Philippe Giabbanelli was my supervisor. My contributions included testing LLMs on multimodal graduate-level exams using both text and slide decks, applying a Design of Experiments methodology to merge complex causal maps using LLMs, and utilizing advanced prompt engineering and style transfer to translate agent-based models into empathetic stories.

6. Jan 2024 — May 2024 · Alès, France

   AI Research Engineer Intern — EuroMov

   Generative AI applied to artistic movement analysis.

   More

   Supervised by Gérard Dray, my research stood at the intersection of AI and art by generating digital artwork from human movement data. I processed raw sensor spreadsheets from an artist's movements and used a remote GPU container to run StableDiffusion with ControlNet and specialized models. I developed an iterative workflow that combined image generation with MATLAB scripts for depth-based image composition, accepting uncertainty to create novel visual compositions and study the expressive potential of diffusion models.

7. Nov 2023 — Dec 2023 · Thuir, France

   Data Analyst Intern — Centre Hospitalier de Thuir

   BI dashboards to modernize hospital data reporting.

   More

   I modernized hospital data reporting under the supervision of Clément Naudy, by replacing manual export processes with real-time QlikView dashboards connected to administrative and medical ERPs. I wrote SQL queries and QlikView load scripts to extract, transform, and model hospital data, building dashboards to track key indicators such as medical activity or absenteeism. Finally, I authored technical documentation to ensure project sustainability.

8. May 2023 — Jun 2023 · Alès, France

   Market Analyst Intern — Haï Mask

   Market study for a connected sports mask project.

   More

   Supervised by Maxime Menardo, I conducted a 5-week market study that included a PESTEL analysis, competitive mapping, and target audience profiling. I surveyed 22 high-level athletes to validate product features and test price sensitivity, ultimately building a 4P marketing plan, a CRM strategy, and a go-to-market action plan. I also designed a multi-platform communication strategy with promotional content mockups and analyzed pro sports club budgets to identify B2B prospects.
